someone wrote in to the ST yesterday complaining that the
Scanias were 'jerky, bone-rattling and vibrated a lot'. that's not
new. 
I think SMRT MB OC500LE buses generally perform better than SBST
Scania KUB. As for the writer's complain that the space above the
front tyres taking up precious space, that's the characteristic of
WAB bus as it got to be zero step and the engine moved to the rear.
But not all Scania KUB are jerky and vibrate alot. For example, I
got a wonderful ride on SBS8178U on svc 130 today! I think if
Scania is sincere in maintaining long-term relationshop with SBST
and regaining public confidence in their products, they got to try
to improve or upgrade these new buses for SBST. Marketing is very
important in today's business, not just sales! Potential customers
are also watching!
