Can we talk about old bus models also? I may have boarded an O305 once or twice on 28 or 31 when I was very young. I heard that the O305's are quite smooth and similar to the O405's. There was also LO2x, Leyland Atlanteans, etc. Anyone remember them? After all, I was born in 1994 and my favourite fleet will be the fleet in the late 1990s to the early 2000s. There was a great balance between technology and tradition in buses that time.

very good. the O305 were similair in gearbox to the O405. u probably will have to go Australia now to catch any O305s existing left in the world but dah those too are gg off soon.

the rev diffrentials of Singapore o305s and Hong Kong O305s are diff..u guys ever wonder why? Anyheck i like our O305 reving ptich lor. quite showing that the bus is strong n powerful with a higher revs for biting gear 1 to gear 2 and from biting gear 2 to 3. i hear the hong kong ones like macham the rev so low, the bus sound half dead n not powerful.

a point to note is that older gen bsues definitely have their own unique and sometimes roaring sounds. echoing the point made above about different techhnolgoies, todays EURO IV and EURO V creatures all sound alike. and the mating with standardised gearboxes dun really help with the sounds coming from under the bus...soooo boring de. the oonly proably unqie sounds u cna hear coming from the EURO IV bus is when the bus gearbox is doing some nasty feedback with engine n u hear a grawwwwarrrr sounds lol

Those books has been there for quite some time liao ... before you even post this...

and I think the first TransitLink guide only came in 1992 onwards , before that is i think just BUS GUIDE itself.

Yes it is BUS GUIDE, I am posting these is just for information for people whom liked history about buses.

Found that SMRT really killed TIBS, seen the TIBS magazine, so many new buses, so many new interchanges, so many activities, and so gooood, haha
