Easiest to drive

Ya me too...I love the VSO (B10TL) only for its suspension, super soft! However the Voith gearbox makes it crawl in acceleration..But its still a nice bus, e...

Excuse me, i dunno where were the price shown. It would be gd if you can point it out again. BTW, the price maybe for the present scania and not for the past. BUT u still do not have a defintely ans to tell me why SBST brought more mercz then scania. Excuse me, the different were about 500 over buses! It could be understandable when the different were 5 or 20 but it was not! BTW, I just found out that comparing mercz from scania. Mercz looks nicer in the interior and the exterior!

Tibs standards dropped after being rebranded SMRT Bus. Rolling Eyes

Anyway, Scanias are indeed longer than Mercs. The former can carry 49 sitting pax while the latter only takes 47. The B10M has a seating capacity of 51.

Both SBST Scanias and WA Mercz and WA B10M MK II are built by the same body builder company, Walter Alexander. So naturally, they have almost similar bodyworks.(WA PS) Or are you comaparing the DM Mercz? Interior is decided by SBST on how they want to arrange the seats. Wink
BTW: To each his/her own. Laughing

The price is definitely for the N113s. Prices for current Scanias I do not know.

Multiply the difference in cost by 500. That will give you your answer as why SBST bought much more Mercz than Scania.
This is just one thread I managed to dig up. Mr. Green

20K just for a Air Con unit for Scania OAC.

Another reason is that Scanias are harder to mantain than mercz. This reason good enuff for u?

Woah! Just the A/C already so expensive? Shocked Shocked

SBS1985C SG

haha. Hope now ChickenLittle know why SBST buy so little Scanias. Laughing

SBS1985C SG

Double Post.

There are 150 of them. If you ask me that's not "so little". IMO, should've bought more, haha. Its just too bad that the Scania N113 had deteriorated to such a state that the 'younger generetaions' witness them as being noisy, dirty, rough, rattling, shaking etc. etc. etc. I can assure that if they were to ride the Scania 17 years ago, their perception towards the bus would be completely different. It was fast, quiet and smooth; simply the best.

chickenlittle2 SG

Rolling Eyes oh.. So from where can you prove that mercz or even it's A/C unit should be cheaper then Scania? Somehow I think that 20K aircon on scania dun really work well this days! I remembered I was sweating like hell when I once took a scania on svc 157 last year. Even the driver open the window and use his timesheet to fan himself!

SBS1985C SG

little compared to O405. Wink

Scania N113 Rox. Mr. Green

SBS1985C SG

Mercz I got no info. Twisted Evil But its a fact that Scanias then, cost much more than the O405. In other words. O405 were cheaper And Newer than Scania - Scania were brought in in 1989 Mercz were brought in in 1991.

Yes. I do admit some OAC Scania are like Ovens. One of them is SBS0065P.
However, this is due to poor mantanence of Scanias. Same reason why some
O405 have odd noises and creaky suspension.

Some Scanias jerk because of poor maintenance.Overall i feel confident driving OAC Scanias more than CAC.

chickenlittle2 SG

for u onli! For me I think MB 0405 rocks. If u ask SBST, they might reply u the same!! This is what one of my friend in SBST told me that.

chickenlittle2 SG

Pls show facts and statistics! Next time if u work, ur boss would tell u this. It was because figures tell u everything. Just like the no of scania SBST bought and the no of mercz SBST bought!

I guess scania suspension are worst. Try those scania on svc 157. U would know it. Ai ya, it would be the best to transfer those scania to ur area in exchange of mercz!

SBS9806J SG

Aren't those Scania on 157 from BRBP and not BNDEP? I think he is talking about BNDEP Scanias. SBS1985C likes Scanias because he lives in the east side and you like Merc because you live in West side.

Conclusion for people who like what type of bus: (Not all, but usually)
SBST:
Central (AMDEP/BRBP) - Mercedes-Benz
West (SLBP) - Mercedes-Benz
West/South (ARBP) - Volvo
North-East - Volvo
East - Scania, maybe Volvo

SMRT:
North/Bt Panjang (WLDEP) - Scania, Mercedes-Benz
North-West (KJDEP) - Habit
Yishun (AMDEP) - Lance?

I am a lifelong west sider but I am a fan of ALL Scanias, be it CRB, CRL or L94.

No Mk IIIs or DAFs for me.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Nah. I dont wish to challenge you, its just that i got confused. Embarassed

Sorry bout that. But at least you put nice words, thats nice of you. Very Happy

Anyway, what are you working as? Smile

Windy_hates_B10TLs SG

Knowing who you are and how young you are, I think you are being a bit of a show off. You need to calm down and humble yourself enough to learn. It is all well and good that you know these things, but you need to know to listen when you know someone is going to teach you something. I am forever learning new things and humility is not such a bad thing to have.

I work as an Inspector at a bus company which I will not disclose. It is on a casual part-time basis, since I have a full time job and this is one of my side jobs.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Icic, but i also agree with your signature. Burn all the B10M MKIIIs! Twisted Evil Laughing

SBS9806J SG
