    • Hello, if anyone of you have any buses to feature and recommend bus fans to take or etc...(include your reasons) don't mind just share with us. But one point to note, practice sensitivity towards each other

      Thanks

      For me:

      Off topic: Just felt that HGDEP maintenance has dropped icon_lol.gif

      For the Mk4s:
      SBS960E, SBS980Y, SBS982S, SBS1899T, SBS2680A, SBS2683S, SBS2688D, SBS2753Z, SBS2795C(freezing air-con), SBS2836T

      To me, all the bus above have clear transmission and not much weird problem icon_lol.gif

      For the Mk3:
      SBS593G, whirring sound (Best recommended) icon_lol.gif

      Will update again

      I also feel that AMDEP's maintanence has dropped recently, the Sv53 and Sv55 K230s have very dusty rims, don't know what happened to their cleaning routine recently.

      I recommend 0549K... though it's already in Soon Lee, but it has a very clear and distinguished Voith sound when I last sat it on Sv55, a week before it headed for SL. Don't know how it sounds like now, been too busy to hunt it.

      I also recommend 0414R... super duper loud engine sound from the outside but the sounds from the inside is very nice, and although it's a ZF it has a nice mix of ZF and W3E... a very nice combination indeed.

    • SBS3625A is the best ride on a Scania N113CRB you could wish for. (Sv 186)

      TIB1024H has lost it's 1st gear and it starts accelerating from 2nd Gear and straight into 3rd. (Sv 913)

      TIB369U has a slighty tuned engine that gives more rpm. A good ride (Sv 981/SP)

      SBS8031M: Little Vibration, Smooth Ride (Sv 6)

      SBS3604P: A bus that has little vibration. Cannot ride on it anymore (Training Bus)

      TIB792E: Interior is still rotten but bus performance is an a ok (Sv 307)

      SMB1H:  A good ride. Little Vibration. Just hope the PM shift BC doesn't drive it. (I think most of you should know why) (Sv 190)

       

      Buses I dun recommend:

      TIB372C: Seats can be lifted and vibration (not that vigorous as those ELBOs)

      TIB1254K: Terrible Interior

      For all TPE services using Av 10/Dr 12 exit, they can forget about cleaning them as the buses will in the end get dirty within a day.

      Dunno how to choose, don't choose. My goodness, what a tast you've got!

      SBS904T roar roar roar. You call that good?
      SBS2696E suspension you call that good?
      SBS2888T you call that good?
      SBS9888Y lousy breaking and problematic. You call that good?

      Be thankful that bndep saved SBS2699Y. You don't know how HORRIBLE this bus was when it came over initially.

      It's quite easy to catch SBS593G on service 119 at night as there's only 4 buses running.

      Orleng colour somemore. icon_lol.gif

      Personally , as for SMRT side, i would recommend TIB427K, TIB446E, TIB471G, TIB493T TIB500G, TIB505T, TIB518G, TIB541M, TIB543H, and many more.

      As for bendy, most box bendies are in sorry shape. If not, you might want to try, TIB853M, TIB854K, TIB890E, TIB892A and TIB896P

      As for volgren bendies, , TIB1178Y, TIB1182J, TIB1184D, TIB1189R, TIB1193C

      And some others. I shall list them out when i got time.

      Hmm I haven't listed down for SMRT ones... heehee

      TIB 0433S is a nice bus to try, powerful air-con and smooth engine.
      TIB 1180P is a chiongster bus! The  jump-bus uncle always spoils it due to over-ramming the engine. icon_lol.gif
