That's not entirely true.
I used to know this 265 BC more than a decade ago who
chronically drags the W3E Merc gearbox.
Anybody who still recalls how the W3E behaves will know
its an incredible feat. And even more ridiculous is the
fact that he can even do it in those tight little AMK Street.
I also knew of the other 265 BC who chronically drove fast and
braked hard.
It came to a head one day when he braked so hard that the engine
stalled in front of Anderson Sec.
And seriously, performance of the bus doesn't have such a big
difference in travel-time, much less deployments. If the VO3X can
be deployed to NUS services, just about any bus can be deployed
anywhere.
Certainly the K230UB is also not as slow as many thinks. Heck.
As long as I get to my place in comfort and without tortoise pace,
anything goes.
Yeah how will i ever manage to forget those awesome moments??

And certainly yeah very true for what u said in the last
paragraph.The kubs can be real fast too.I didnt know that at the
very beginning,but after certain rides i have to really admit that
they too can 'fly' if really needed.
