Original Air-Con (OAC) or Converted Air-Con (CAC)

bus555 SG

Do you like Original Air-Con buses or/and Converted Air-Con buses? For me, I like both. Very Happy

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Your question should have been or/and instead of just or . Laughing

Anyway , it depends . For me , i prefer CAC Mercedes Benz O405 of SMRT .

I also prefer OAC Scania N113CRBs . Dont really like CAC , leg room is really tight .

Me? I like the Volvo B10M Mark II CAC and NAC. Love the powerful engine and to remind you, the first batch of Mark IIs(SBS1701-1710) will be going on it’s final day today and would be sent to the grave after that or become ‘ghosts’ which meant, sold to NZ or Australia

kenn3th SG

i prefer the cac o405, reason being, it’s colder, and it seems to be more stable and have fasster accleration

sbst275 SG

CAC definitely for SBS's O405s, CRBs and MK2.

For SMRT, OACs Laughing

kengkia SG

SBS merc original air con rocks bigger leg room SMRTB merc original air too it's engine sound and tendency to go beyonds the legal speed... Laughing

stooper SG

SBST O405 = CAC
SBST MK2 = NAC Twisted Evil

SMRT CAC are hopeless, especially ELBO

TIB1049L SG

All SMRT CAC got leaky air con Evil or Very Mad

Well actually I prefer SMRT CAC Merz instead on OAC Merz because OAC Merz eh where you sit at the back, the dunno that air-con thinky makes a lot of noise. CAC Merz does not have that although the window isn’t change but I still prefer CAC Merz.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

X2 . Me too . OAC Merc , some of them are very noisy . I also dunno why , prefer CAC over OAC SMRT Merc. Embarassed Laughing Oh ya , CAC appear to have a brighter interior than OAC one during the day.

CAC MERZ from SMRT is more dirty than any buses in their fleet Evil or Very Mad

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Yeah . Very dirty indeed. Cockroach even ! Shocked Saw it on TIB783G. Some of them the axle also "sounds rusty".

But CAC Merc remains one of my most fav buses. Very Happy Its the poor cleaniness and maintainance that made it look like in a bad state.

jetabt767400 SG

Hmm, I think I rather the SMRT 0405 CAC version.
Although I have sat SBST 0405 CAC for several times on 8N and must say its a nice ride too. Sometimes the aircon for some particular bus may be weak.
Same applies to all buses dah, its the same when they get old but I still like them.

patdog112 SG

SMRT CAC merz aircon sibey powerful.. cockroaches love the aircon

Scania N113CRB luver SG

The first part of your sentence is true for some CAC Mercs. Some are really strong . Even in a hot afternoon , the bus is not sweltering hot .

patdog112 SG

in the night its freezing.. espacially those 307 after 2230....

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Same goes to TIB725A on 920/922 .

Yusry SG

No trying to be pedantic, but in discrete mathematics, OR can mean both too.

To ensure that only one selection is allowed, use XOR (exclusive or).

XiaoTaro SG

Not really, the UMW Lances are even more dirtier and worse maintained than the CAC o405s... Look at the aircon vents, all dust stuck up there...

tintinspartan SG

In fact, before the MK-IIIs, Scania N113CRB OACs and MB0405s went for MLR (Mid-Life Refurbishment), they had the same aircon vents or those eh…. the place where they put the adverts in the top slots. Dun know what was it called but really, they looked dull, especially the SMRT style seats (black and blue livery). After MLR, they look more attractive. Lances could use some aircon panels of thier MB counterparts.
