sbst275 SG So what about the OCs? There are also high steps in the bus to the rear. But at least SMRT bought teh Citaro. I would recommend that SBS Transit would spam Citaros rather than KUBs The Citaro's end seats are worst w/ the high steps. Also if nothing changes, expect SMRT to lament later maintenance cost is high thks to e fabric interior should SPH decides to go for the slightly better Citaro.Tat's why when she laments abt buses no future, are they off their mind to look at Citaro.
sbst275 SG Nvr read the sunday times tat time ah??Most of the complains were regarding the atrocious braking/jerking and the high steps towards the rear of the bus....And even then,wat did sbst do??Happily buy even more n more kubs....Wat does tis clearly show??Tat they dun take ppl's feedbacks seriously. Then someone here design 1 bus that's low taking into consideration the tyres and engine mounting constraints. Sometimes commuters complain they dun even understand the constrains. It's as if in designing there's free lunch (no compromise).The braking has more to do w/ engine braking effect. 6 gear speed, so imagine how much braking effect.
