Scania N113CRB luver SG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:7321-051.JPG SBS7321D on S51 instead of 147
sinicker SG speeds well. once took the last bus of S21 frm pasir ris back home. very fast. but also once took it on S12, BC handles it badly, braking jerkily and such.
Scania N113CRB luver SG haha! took one VO2x on 93 BC oso lyk dat. Hmm........ mus take the B9TLs the next time! I lyk buses that speed well.
swee_heng SG actually too test if B9s speed well , just deploy it on svcs like 161 or 168 to test. 1 thing for sure that 179 , 199 and 74 will nvr get B9s as students will disfigure the bus
Superbus SG What kinda logic is it to say that B9s won't be deployed on 179, 199, 74 etc, because the students will vandalize the bus? Meaning that there aren't students onboard Svcs 12, 21, 147, 196?
SBS BUSES LOVER SG haiz , this is something that no one can control the BC can't say students get out of the bus , or monitor what they are doing , in every bus you can see vandalism whether you like it or not . and for goodness sake , you mean only 179 199 74 gets students to school throughout singapore ? crap lah
stooper SG Maybe more likely they won't make it up the hill... VO2x @ 9.6L, [email protected], Merc @ 12L... B9TL @ 9.4L (includes A/C)
Scania N113CRB luver SG So what? A small litred engine doesn't really mean it is not powerful. Just like a skinny guy, look very skinny but actually very fit. Don't judge the book by its cover ! Hmmm.... actually the B9TLs has one of the most powerful engine in SBSTransits' DD fleet. Wiki says it has a maximum bhp of 340, more than the Trident. But businfohub says it has 300bhp, so there might be a debate here.
sBs_boy SG Powerful ? lol.. i Dont Believe.. Especially when i alwayz experience a roll back of B9 then trying to struggle up a small slope.. when other VOs could do it pretty well..
The_Bus_Guide SG It is possible to get some extra power from an engine; by installing an intercooler, for example. However, torque is a different story. How much torque an engine produce is dependent on the stroke of the piston. Larger stroke = larger torque. The B9 is offered with a 300 hp or a 340 hp engine. SBST chose the former. The Cummins M11 on the Trident is rated at 305 hp. When comparing power for size, the Volvo D9A300 is better.
off_service SG There's still chance. But there will definitely be services with priority. Besides, the infrastructure at Woodlands Regional Interchange is not PIW and WAB friendly, hence I believe there won't be WABs on services 161 and 168 at this point of time.
