Mk4 DM3500s - Excellent buses, good aircon, good speed, good
interior pity SBS only bought about 130 of these buses.
Mk4 Striders - Good buses, as the Mk4s all are, but interior worse
than the DM3500s. Why do these look so much like the DM3500s when
the bodies are made by different companies?
Mk4 DMs - Nothing special, better than Mk3s though. Interior can do
with some improvement though.
Mk3s - Underpowered and sluggish, the unrefurbished ones really
suck, but there are some exceptions.
Volvo Olympians - Good buses, but I still prefer LOs.
Leyland Olympians - I try to avoid the lower decks, very squashed
compared to the spacious VOs, but the LOs are quite quiet on the
upper deck and the engine sound is very good.
Super Olympians - Excellent aircon, excellent interior but slow.
Its only noisy on lower deck and outside, when on the upper deck
its super quiet. Only 50 of them on Singapore roads, wish SBS
bought more.
Tridents - Good power, quiet, and good interior, pity only 20 of
them on Singapore roads and they're only based at HGDEP.
Scanias - The NAC and CAC buses are quite ok, but I try to avoid
the OACs for as much as I can and the Scanias for long rides. Any
bus is bearable for a short hop.
SBS O405s - Very noisy and the interior is not good, try to avoid
these during long rides.
SMRTbus O405s - Ok bus, very noisy but comfort is ok, good
power.
Habits - Nice buses, good seats and interior, has a lot of power
like all the SMRTbus buses.
