Bus 130. Much standing space, few seats

SBS2695H SG

i really hate this bus when i take 57 or 131 home. STAND all e way. come on. the normal merc bus used to be better. some more this one for no reason at the red light the suspension will go up and down sss sss sss sss ssssssssssssss. wtf man.

Even some of the non-bus-fans say that the Scania K230UB is no good. This shows how infamous the Scania K230UB are getting. That's why I suggest one of the PIW space can simply be axed, then it would have the same amount of seats as a Merz, as we hardly see two PIW onboard at the same time. But new =/= lousy. Our MAN and B9TL are also new but they are anytime better than KUB.

Maybe the thread title can be changed to "Scania KUBs lacking of seats"

foldable seats makes a good alternative that can be fitted at the standee area.

Actually you know the space behind the granny seat supposed to put another seat but dont know why it become a space as a BC locker -.- damn lame man when the space beside the 4 golden seats there can put lol

wads lame is that the seat directly behind the bus captain is big enough for 1 1/2 persons. 1 person sit so big for wad?? make it 1/2 size bigger so can accomodate 2 people instead.

Hi, take a look at the pic i snapped when i was on bus service 130 heading home:

As you can see this man is holding crutches with obvious cast on other leg( not in pic ) is standing ever since he got up at bugis MRT bus stop and it was sardine packed until the bus driver skips a few stops. When i alighted he is still standing.. ive seen the people sitting infront of him.. ladies mid 20s to 40s.. with the rules about these green coloured seats pasted right above their heads and is supposed to let the elderly, pregnant and needy/disabled to sit yet they just continue and sit as if the man infront of them is invisible. How selfish can they be??

The bus i took is the new model from SBS which i think is crap.. they make so many space for people to stand and so little seats..

yeah,as you know goverment wants more WAB(Wheelchair Acessible Buses)so,there will be lesser seats..

Roderick a.k.a Guai Kia SG

eh.they nv say dey hate,dey only say this bus not ENOUGH CHAIR not hate,but,this buses are powerful,you see,you usually see them overtaking buses,and this bus got de strength to move though de bus is alr pack to de door..and can move normally and quickly...de problem is only seats are not enough,not bus lousy okay TEO YAN TING!don't always say good buses and say till dey are like shit..can't stand you!compare your stupid old lousy mk 3 with kub..kub is much better,i agree with someone's idea saying putting foldable seats by de side of de PIW cushion..tt's should be enough..oh why not,bring your own small foldable chair also can..de WAB buses are equally same!

ya because this black arm rest thinky on the seat on the way right. Haizz if you take 160 or 170, the seats also got this think but then... 169 and 170 buses got 100% seats :)

You're not much convincing either. What has power got to do with the topic? What's so stupid about the MKIII? Pot calls the kettle black.

This problem.....is opportunity cost for you. There's only so much space on a bus.

carbikebus SG

Lucky that guy still able to board the bus although its crowded.Imagine those who can't board bcos the BC skipped few stops?

TIB1062Y SG

Lolx... Those who know me well, I will have this thinking that "There is no such thing as NO SEAT", unless that "golden and not so accessible seat" is being taken by someone else especially SMRT Hispano Habit and Volgren Bendy..

actually MKIII oso got its own power. take 170 quite a lot recently. feel as if the MKIIIs have more power. and MKIII power comes in almost to the end of each gear

That's Voith for you. My favourite part is when the bus goes into 3rd.....other voith buses quickly transit to 2nd, but for most MKIIIs, they are tuned to hold their 2nd before transiting to 3rd.

Then ZF powered buses not power enough is it?Engines tend to stressed quickly for buses with Voith 3 speed.That's explain why Voith B9TLs are more powerful in acceleraton.

AEW5001 SG

how abt manual? u decide when to chg gear :D (my fav)

SBS7484P SG

they can accelerate now... wait until 1 year pass, then sbst start locking up fuel pumps. jus like our B9TL's, now the powerrrrr feeling gone liao

SBS7484P SG

anyway i was thinking... the two PIW spaces could be separated IF POSSIBLE?

i already said IF POSSIBLE so dont flame me if its not possible.

anyway, the PIW area directly behind the wheelhub could be replaced by the area with the 5-side facing seats. so now we have one wheelchair space on the left, one on the right jus facing the exit door.

now, i dun believe the wheelchair take up so much space, so we can put one sideway facing seat near the door panel, on the left wheelchair space. the leftover space given when the first wheelchair space has been removed, can be replaced by at least 3 pairs of seats, albeit slightly squeezy. one pair can be rearward facing, just like in our O.405's, and the other two pairs made available in the remaining space. the rearward facing seat, mounted on the wheelhub area.

Each to his or her liking mah....I never said nor denied whichever is more powerful.

You like ZF, I like Voith, no harm keeping it this way.
