With all this hype about the SMRT Yutong, out of curiousity, I
decided to try out Bedok Transport's Yutong ZK6100H on Scheme B
Service 621 and boy, how impressed I was =D =D
The build construction was very sturdy, no rattles, creaks or
squeakes throughout the journey. The air suspension was also a
definite plus over the many Japanese spring suspensions around, and
the whole journey was very smooth. Engine performance was
simply great - the fella flew on ECP with ease, the engine was
smooth-running and the sound was well-insulated (not that it was
very loud in the first place, as compared to King Long). And
given the long express sector of the route (Maxwell Rd to Siglap Rd
on ECP), it was definitely very worth the $2.30 =D
To those who still refuse to believe China buses are good, I'd
seriously suggest you to try this bus.
