Rapid Kuantan starts operating from December 1

sbst275 SG

kids here haven’t even learn how to drive.. think driving is all about speeding and the power rating…

tell this to ppl outside, a laughing stock one time..

Like I said, if your really despo for powerful bus… ask SMRT to buy manual transmission buses…

Sure or not???

Today 1 BC telling me how sluggish the Citaro is.. comparing to Volvo… But funny thing, he never make any mention of Scania…

Only say Citaro no power…

Citaro are not as bad as you think. As a commuter, actually I think it is a powerful and comfortable bus.

Don't let the kids here affect your judgement. They don't worth it.

do you think they want? scania's engine parts aren't interchangable with the oc/citaro and MAN's. furthermore their best performance bus is at 320hp and their lousiest performing at 285hp.

If you are not working for SMRTB, stop acting like you are one.

SBST should get K250UB if they're keen on LE buses

Maybe SMRT may consider the K360UA/UD?

MT? Metrobus of KL uses that. Most regional bus operators in Malaysia using MT as AT is found mainly in city buses (JB/KL/PG).

There's 2 ways to look at it... 1) Citaro has the power, provided by the higher revving of the engine... gear will wear off nia.. 2) Citaro does not have the power.. BC has to revv up the engine to get the power and acceleration needed... Both still lead to the same conclusion abt the fact engine has to revv up... The problem w/ vehicles at high rpm is whenever you're braking... there's still engine revving momentum, making braking very heavy for those whoever that's standing...

Every bus models have their pros and cons.

The Scania KUBs are non the better. Can see them trying to rev very hard sometimes while accerlerating, and is struggling to keep at high speeds. And their vibration of the whole bus deteriorates the bus much faster.

But at least I am contented that SBST at least try to maintain most of their buses well. Come on, they are just buses. Citaro or KUB, at least we have new buses on the roads now.

The KUB’s vibration reminds me of the CRB… But, true… The vibration is also likely induced by some design conditions…

The KUB can pick up speed steadily under the typical acceleration…

I dunno, even when I drive I dun heavy accelerate..

Look at the CRBs' conditions after 17 years and you know it. However it is still one of the quietest buses in SBS before they deregistered in 2009.

Many times, I observed many BCs are trying hard to accelerate on the KUBs, as compared to the B9TL Wrights and Citaros which are smoother.
