SBS9828X SG haha lol... just took SBS9199? last week... 2nd lane 50% of the way... overtake trident and O405
xunmengzitu SG 2 years ago i took 9630 on 88 at senkang towards pasir ris, the bus was packed and the bus captain sped at 90km/h on the middle lane on the TPE until it reached the pasir ris exit
gorby107 SG Took a Dennis Lance on Sv 965 a few months back and it sped around 80-85km/h along Gambas Ave and TPE/SLE
carbikebus SG Can provided no/faulty speed limiter.I even on board one batch 1 VO that can run up to 95 during off service.Sometimes by hearing and notice that no vibration during 60km thats mean the bus can go beyond that.Actually any buses can run. Some tips to see public buses chiong like crazy SMRT Buses NiteRiders & Worker Transport SBST Buses Niteowl(Little chance except few sv) & Employee Buses
Scania N113CRB luver SG Took SBS2607 on 3N just now , BC kept chionging along straight roads. Speed was around 70-80km/h at expressway i think . Then i alight at Bukit Panjang , the BC gave me a thumbs up with a smiley face.
sir_peanuts SG some scanias i remb do have good pickup, but they belong to the minority in my opinion. better reserved for townlink?
nenepokey SG once TIB661A chiong abt 100km/h on a downhill bending slope along Woodlands Road. engine was roaring lyk mad, and i wonder if the tachometer went into the red zone...
TIB1049L SG TIB465A. Most BCs who drove it before said its one of the easiest and fastest Box Merz ever. And on 911 this one is speed machine driven by speed demon
patdog112 SG try 67 at weekdays nights around 2200 to 2300 ( last bus ) u will have a nice experience
alleggerita SG Seriously, the old Scania N113CRBs are quite powerful once the turbo kicks in.. And O.405 also very chiong-able.. The only B10M which I think is as quick as the O405 is the Mk2 and Mk3s..Mk4 starts to feel heavier.. The new Scania K230UB seems to be quite accelerative..I would say on par with the O405! Maybe because it's still new and it's turbocharged while the O405 is naturally-aspirated..but one thing though, the K230UB's 5-cylinder in-line diesel engine vibrates quite a lot for a new bus..all the interior fittings like the grabpoles and chairs were rattling away whenever the bus accelerates.. Added: As for double-decks, I firmly think that the B9TL has the best acceleration thanks to it's powerful engine and the kick-ass ZF 6-speed gearbox.. There was once I was on SBS7455B on svc. 80..the BC chiong-ed after the red light turned green, and it managed to accelerate at the same pace with the other cars around it! Which shows that it's acceleration can match other saloon cars..superb..
Scania N113CRB luver SG Pick up speed depends on engine torque . Max speed depends on engine horsepower.
chickenlittle2 SG I agree that the new Scania K230UB tends to vibrate too much for a new bus.. Maybe u can try LO3x on Svc 174 or Svc 97 in the night and you would know how power they are.. Svc 174 travelling along Bukit Timah Rd at night and Svc 97 along AYE at night.. Wow..
carbikebus SG I dare say that the K230UB pick up was more better than O405s but slack on top speed.Provided SBST dun tightened the pick up
alleggerita SG But all of you here should understand one thing here..Vehicles tend to be more powerful at night.. Reason is simple..when night falls, air becomes cooler..and as we all know from science lessons, cold air sinks..so when the air become cooler, more air sinks to the ground level.. And we also know internal combustion engines (regardless of petrol or diesel) need air to combust the fuel..and the more air, the better (hence the invention of turbocharger/supercharger).. So when vehicles travel at night, more cool air goes into the engine..and when more air goes into the engine, it creates a natural kind of turbocharger/supercharger effect..and plus the fact the air is cooler at night, it's even better for diesel engine..a natural "intercooler"!!! Added: And that's possibly the reason why all of you find buses at night to be more powerful..
