last SG · 2008-12-23T22:01:08+00:00

That's nothing.At least a few KUBs have their handrails almost ripped off......KUB's will be looking older then CRB's if this goes on.

Fryderyk HPH SG

since 8074K buanged the bendy already no more 4s leh.

Oh i see, sorry...

TIB537B SG

have you seen how ah mas board the bus and grab the handrail and pull themselves up the bus using the handrail...

it's just.... door breaking.

Gemilang should prepare more spare doors in advance le.

Maybe one of the surprises in the Euro V batch - Swing plug front doors with handrails at the entrance (something like the high floor coach) so that the ah mas can next pull themselves up and cause the bus body to break.

The surprise is....its greener.

JaSoNhSu92 SG

Me too. When it first came out, I was so excited and wanted to take KUBs everyday. But after trying it for a few times, I find that the bus is too jerky and dangerous for PIW onboard. And the steps is very irritating too. Now when I see a OC, I feel the same as what I feel when KUBs first came out. I hope SMRT will not buy 900 of OCs.

i cant feel any jerks on KUBs leh

SBS n SMRT SG

i cant feel any jerks on KUBs leh

Is that the ride u take lucky not jerk, i experience jerks almost all KUB rides except some BC that are so good that make the ride like a DM3500

TIB537B SG

Um, that was already made known to us before it was posted here that there are surprises in the Euro V version.

JaSoNhSu92 SG

Wonder why most of the handrails paint in K230UB that is transfer frm HGDEP to SLBP come off.

i seen B9TLs also had their handrails kena ripped off, can see some "grey" paint pieces on handrails.

TIB537B SG

i cant feel any jerks on KUBs leh

When the bus stopping or accelerating quite jerky. Ya, i also fear the safety of PIWs in the Scanias, but still there isn't any injuries so far.

Surprise : Euro V version to have the PIW seatbelts found in the OC gemilang? hmm

^tamago^ SG

Gemilang should prepare more spare doors in advance le.

If two piece plug doors, one of the doors will hit whatever is in front of the bus.

SBS n SMRT SG

If two piece plug doors, one of the doors will hit whatever is in front of the bus.

Maybe make it a sliding door instead, like what the UD got, anyway, the part is also the axle, maybe techinally impossible, pls correct me.

Oceane SG

S29 starts KUB today.

Fryderyk HPH SG

S29 starts KUB today.

Oh god. But I wonder how the EDS is going to be like.

Apex-LW'21 SG

hmm, in this case , maybe 3665 and 3666 may get out from 29.

SBS9888Y SG

S29 starts KUB today.

8215X spotted by SBS 9631 X

okay, looks like you still are not finished.

its called dumping of crap from good depots to SLBP cos its the far end of the earth and has the poorest maintenance just look at PSV SCs. ( i'm sure people agree with me that its maintenance isnt good ) and therefore deserves it.

besides sv 30, 154, 157, 174, 185, 193, 194, 198, 502. because
1. goes out of Boon Lay
2. has other depot controls
3. plies to various tourist attractions
sv 30 and 154 covers all 3.

other than those, the rest should be dumped crap according to its demand.

as high utilization would mean things wear out faster so no point putting nice buses which will be poorly treated and wear out faster. make sense?

kubs as well, particulary e 1st batch.

I cannot comprehend what re u talking abt the service 30 and 154 thinggy? Care to repeat?

it will hit the ah ma who stepped onto the road to cut queue for the 2nd bus at the busstop.

Nope....not at all.

It does not explain HG and the tridents.

Manteinance on the tridents are not much better (ignore the spare parts issue here).

Edit: I mean....it takes donkey years to replace things like EDS backlights, rearlights. And I'm not exaggerating....its really YEARS. And tridents being laid-up is not something uncommon.

I feel it that the PSV SCs are ok leh equal to AMDEP LO3x. At least they are better than the turf city one.

Dunno wat u talking abt sv 30, 154, 157, 174, 185, 193, 194, 198, 502? and I think doesn't make sense.

merc in AMDEP = 45.2%

merc in SLBP = 18.3%

merc + LO2x in SLBP = 47%

Nt much diff. Quite rare to see AMDEP VO3x, B9TL on city roads.

K230UB batch 1 transfer from HGDEP is ok. SLBP got the least intake of batch 1 compared to HGDEP & AMDEP who took alot. SLBP had done serious cleaning on these buses by using cleaning formula for the interior.
