Makes me wonder why your username is of a KUB.....Contradiction?

Hi guys. For those who have taken KUB and OC500 liao. In your opinion which is a better bus? Which bus will you prefer to take for your daily rides if you have a choice?

Erm i prefer OC500s than KUBs

Both are good buses for a start. Both have their own pros and cons.

I prefer the OC500LE for its looks and comfort.

In the technical aspect the OC already wins the KUB in terms of horsepower. 299bhp VS 230bhp. The OC therefore accelerates much faster than the KUB if given both the same driver to handle and using the same force on the pedal.

But I also wouldn't say that the KUB is not a good model. Both OC & KUB are good for its looks as well as in-vehicle comfort. You wouldn't be able to find a stuffy KUB (unless the A/C spoils) neither would you find one from the OC.

Stuffy/warm KUBs, experience till sian. As for OCs, always freezers, never warm/stuffy.

And comfort level wise, I think OC beats KUBs hands down, but this may be due to the aircon.

I add on too - mentioned comfort as a win-factor for the OC500LE because the interior is better than the brownish K230UB interior. The seats aren't that high up in the rear and OC500LEs not much vibrations.

very comfortable.

accelerates faster than KUB.

OC500.

it isnt as jerky as the KUB's, and doesen't vibrate half as much. also, the acceleration is smoother, rather than two hard jerks before moving off in the KUB.

the OC500 also has better ride quality, in terms that it feels more stable, and has a softer suspension setup than the KUB.

p.s: the woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sound of the radiator in the KUB can get really irritating at times..

A very cooling massage chair.

SMRT BUSES LuvER SG

OCs r my fav bus in SMRT! Even though sometimes the aircon is warm esp SMB3C. For KUB, i didnt dare to sit at the back alr, even though they gt strong A/C coz i rmb taking svc 105 from Orchard all the way to JE Int, i had to sit all the way to the back coz the seats infront were all full.. Half way thru the journey, the seats were still full, but i rather stand coz my whole back is sweating like mad! For the OCs, seatin anywhere is still comfortable and u can get full blast of aircon! I vote for the OCs!

ak4711 SG

OCs arent as reliable as the KUBs, with its history of electronic problems and all.

Merczrox SG

Definitely i prefer the OC500LEs.they pick up speed more faster then the kubs and they seem to have more seats than kubs at the rear.most of all,i love the OC500LEs fog light.the OCs look so cool with them..
