Favourite bus?
-
SBST:
All Scanias
All LO2x (except times with high pax load)
All LA
All the Concept Buses
MK4
JB MK3
MB 0305
SMRT
All Nissan UDs
VO3x are very slow and heavy but has strong aircons
VSO engines are very loud.. a failure of volvo buses, unlike Scanias -
There's 2 LPG buses, they are O.305s, No. 007 which is almost going to be retired which was originally built to run on LPG, and 270. Check on www.busaustralia.com/forum and check in the photos section.Originally posted by iveco:You mean those Transperth ones? Those are actually Merc O405NH with Volgren CR225 bodywork. THere are also a number of O500 CNGs running around in my suburb. -

Detail. Trident, quiet inside, can go real fast, with pax still oblivious.Originally posted by SBS1908B:SBST:
1. MKIV DM with Voith gearbox. Shiok!
2. Dennis Trident. Shiok! Chio!
3. VO3X. Shiok! Chio!
4. MKIII. Shiok!
SMRT:
1. MB0405 Volgren. Shiok man, fast and chio!
2. MB0405 Hispano. Shiok!
3. DAF
4. MB0405G Volgren. Chio!
VO3X, I like the looks, the base voice of the engine, complimenting the whistle of the turbo-charger. Quite comfy, and goes fast!
MKIII, compact look, speed. But not acceleration.
MB0405 Volg fast man! Chio also! MB0405, fast! DAF, the looks. MB0405G Volgren, the sheer power and looks.

My faves:
SBST:
Scania CRB (Yeahh!)
WA MBO405 (I kinda like the engine sound)
VSO
Dennis Tridents (Good performance)
I guess SBST buses not much varieties unlike in the past. Tired of taking and seeing MK3s and MK4s running around.
SMRT:
Volgren MBO405 bendy (Stylish. Seldom see them deployed in trunk services. Mostly used as Woodlands feeder services)
Volgren MBO405
Dennis Lance (Yeahh! Should race with Scania CRBs!)
Scania CRL (Good acceleration but don't like the interor though)
Scania EABO (Unique design. But the aircon kinda lame)
Hispano MBO405 (Simple, fast and reliable)
Least fave buses:
SBST MK3s (Always slow. Some 170 MK3s can speed like mad though).
SBST MK2s (Rough ride, warm and bumpy and cramp legsroom despite good performance. Had enuff of taking those 170 MK2s during school days. Cannot tahan la. More like lorries transporting ppl ).
80's TIBS Hino buses (Enuff of them. Nothing great. But sv 182 hino's can really speed like mad back then.
80's SBS Leyland Albion Viking (Slow and noisy buses! Arrraaannnggg!!!! )
fave old buses:
Merc OF1413
Merc OF1417
Volvo B57 (really missed them man..)
Merc O305 DDs
Just my 2 cent's worth..

Wow so many people loves the scania CRB .... I guess I am one of the minorities who hate the bus.

I love them but not the OACs... Esp on 29... fishy smell of the seaOriginally posted by Airbus330Captain:Wow so many people loves the scania CRB .... I guess I am one of the minorities who hate the bus. -
maybe u grew up with them, and got sick of them? i grew up taking MB 0405s and i simply hate them. I seldom trake Scanias, and ironically, i love them!Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Wow so many people loves the scania CRB .... I guess I am one of the minorities who hate the bus. -
Same here. I like the OACs before they were re-furbished but not now.Originally posted by SBS9828X:I love them but not the OACs... Esp on 29... fishy smell of the sea -
As for me, I grew up with B57s and B10Ms in my midst. I have seen the transition from Mk II to Mk IV in my own neighbourhood. Quite sick of the Mk IIs and Mk IIIs. Would trade them for Scanias (all models) any day.Originally posted by 105090:maybe u grew up with them, and got sick of them? i grew up taking MB 0405s and i simply hate them.

I grew up with mkIIIs, VO2X, MB0405s, DAFs, U31s. Hate none of 'em.Originally posted by 105090:maybe u grew up with them, and got sick of them? i grew up taking MB 0405s and i simply hate them. I seldom trake Scanias, and ironically, i love them! -
well for me i was more like the albion vikings.
i like em but they scrapped liao.(so not listed)
also grew up withleyland vics and b57s and OF1417s and alts and 0305s and lo2x etc....(indifferent to these)
SBS scanias were cool back then. but tdys voith gearbox makes them draggy and slow...still i can never resist on a ride on my dear old frens.

Anyway, I shld add that 089 tridents are hot in the afternoon. Would rather walk 500m to take 088 VO3X anytime. The most horrible part about the trident is where there is no tv mobile to interrupt the ride, there's this noisy bell.
