What do you hate about each bus type?

Sounds pretty badly mantained. But personally, I feel NAC CRBs are far worst off. The interior of 3624G looks like toilet, and exterior like dust magnet. The engine oso vibrate like hell.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Scania N113CRB OAC = horrible engine , braking and aircon .
In my opinion one of the worst buses in Singapore.
I juz noticed that 9188J and 9035S has Leyland signature on centre and front wheels. -
All the Leyland Superbuses have them but sadly, almost all have been painted over now. The Leyland signature was also on the front axle of the 2-axle Olympian, Lynx and the 1984 Atlanteans.Originally posted by SBS3624G:I juz noticed that 9188J and 9035S has Leyland signature on centre and front wheels. -
Yeah, I like the original SBS livery, it really cultivates creativity, not like the SBST livery which just keep showing the same style! I liked the original livery of tridents and 997A.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:All the Leyland Superbuses have them but sadly, almost all have been painted over now.

I'd also like to point out that many of the Albion Vikings had Leyland badges. Why is it so?Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:All the Leyland Superbuses have them but sadly, almost all have been painted over now.

I miss the VO3X Superbus livery. It was one of the nicest.

4 me de trrident's old livery is much more nicer... like arrow and sbs997-sbs999

One to his own preference. Anyway, I liked 997A livery. Makes it striking.Originally posted by SBS9828X:4 me de trrident's old livery is much more nicer... like arrow and sbs997-sbs999 -
HK KMB buses are very nice to take

anyway y do trident and 9888 have different livery when newly introduced???Originally posted by SBS3624G:One to his own preference. Anyway, I liked 997A livery. Makes it striking. -
space between seats are too small. i cant even sit properly, must always lift my legs n lean my knees on the seat in front. long journeys sit until cramp liao.

Simple. The Tridents and SBS 9888Y were of the new generation of Superbuses, ie low-floor and stepless. The livery was to differentiate them from the older generation of Superbuses.Originally posted by SBS9828X:anyway y do trident and 9888 have different livery when newly introduced??? -
wonder how come I see no special livery on the VSOs and the tridents... would be cool if there isOriginally posted by Superbus:Simple.

And 997 998 and 999 have a special livery 4 them too....Originally posted by Superbus:Simple. The Tridents and SBS 9888Y were of the new generation of Superbuses, ie low-floor and stepless. The livery was to differentiate them from the older generation of Superbuses.
Guess newer buses that have wheelchair area might have a new livery from sbst -
Simple.When those peeps from 9800A-9849K and 9889U were introduced,SBS was already SBS Transit.Originally posted by ah_kwang:wonder how come I see no special livery on the VSOs and the tridents... would be cool if there is -
9888Y was only VSO to be in that livery.Originally posted by ah_kwang:wonder how come I see no special livery on the VSOs and the tridents... would be cool if there is -
Had SBS rebranded itself when the gas-powered B10Bs were brought in to serve JI routes?Originally posted by SBS9810X:Simple.When those peeps from 9800A-9849K and 9889U were introduced,SBS was already SBS Transit. -
yes, SBS was rebranded to SBST when the gas-powered B10Bs were brought in to serve JI routesOriginally posted by iveco:Had SBS rebranded itself when the gas-powered B10Bs were brought in to serve JI routes? -
Yep.....They would look cool if they were in the "arrow" livery,but too bad SBST didn't retain the livery.Originally posted by 5454:yes, SBS was rebranded to SBST when the gas-powered B10Bs were brought in to serve JI routes -
Ah, enough data on tridents.
1. Poor view for pp who like to sit in front, thanks to the large metal support.
2. Bus stopping bell. A rude wake up for sleeping folks.
3. The front-back motion. The LO3X and VO3X makes a lot of noise over bumps, but the trident moves like a wave over the hump. This makes it a dangerous DD in my opinion.
4. To make matters worse, the stairs is narrow. -
But why 2888 and 1688 dun get special livery???Originally posted by SBS9810X:Simple.When those peeps from 9800A-9849K and 9889U were introduced,SBS was already SBS Transit. -
They did.Originally posted by SBS9828X:But why 2888 and 1688 dun get special livery???

I don't recall SBS 1688K and SBS 2888T getting special liveries when launched. However SBS 2888T did get special decals on the body. "Hop Onboard The 21st Century Bus" decal was put up on the window just above the side desto.Originally posted by SBS1908B:They did. -
Well......, they did in the sense that instead of having lower front red, they had a stripe of grey in front. That sets them quite apart.Originally posted by Superbus:I don't recall SBS 1688K and SBS 2888T getting special liveries when launched. However SBS 2888T did get special decals on the body.

no lah wat Superbus and i meant was different, totaly different liveryOriginally posted by SBS1908B:Well......, they did in the sense that instead of having lower front red, they had a stripe of grey in front. That sets them quite apart. -
Have to disagree.
I find the Scania N113CRB among the better buses in Singapore & quite a
significant model ! Because this model when it debuted here in 1989, set
noticiable new standards to the omnibus scene here with its charged-cooled fully encapsulated engine which made it THE quietest heavy-duty bus coach
ever to exist in Singapore's history. Also among the best performing !
Even today technically speaking, this model compares well with any other in Singapore.
The engine remains impressive to this day, although in the area of suspension
ride comfort, i'll rate it 'lousy' especially noting its suppose to be air-suspended !
I'll even say the M-B OF 1417 or OH 1318 with only spring suspension is just if not more comfortable !!
If you found the N113CRB 'worse', i'll say it's an exception rather the norm & i'll blame it more on lack of adequete maintenance, driver competence in driving this model of bus ! Basically technically, from bus-chassi point of view, this is no doubt ranks among the better buses ever to exist in Singapore !
As for 'worse' i can think of many like the Volvo B10M, B7F, Leyland Atlantean etc. The N113CRB certainly can't be inferior to any of these. I'll agree on the air-con point in that (Fuji i believe) it's not too fresh & cooling & noisy the same time. I'll prefered Carrier, Sutrak, Konvecta or Coachair instead.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Scania N113CRB OAC = horrible engine , braking and aircon .

You have a point. The CRB beats the Mk II hands down in many departments. Same for the CRL and Mk IV.Originally posted by hseochin:Have to disagree.
