Did You Know.......

That among the B10M Families,The MKIII are the most durable,Rugged and even outspeed all others B10Ms(No speed limiter)fleets?
-
That now SBST Singaporean BCs rose up to 41% compared to last year 28%(Excluding those who resigned)While SMRTB only had 19% Singaporeans.
If you happens to see a SBST BCs drive zig-zag horn at vehicles(Especially) who use/stop @ Bus stops/Lanes that's most probably Singaporeans
Off Topics:Majority of Taxi Drivers had this stereotypes thinking that Public buses are majority Foreigners and that's the always reasons why they unnecessarily cut lanes,Squeeze our lanes dangerously

The only weakness is the bodyworks..Duh!I've driven a SP MKIII Which can hit 90km/h during Off-Service and that Guy engine still not so noisyOriginally posted by Airbus330Captain:Wow , I didn't know that !

is there more easier ways to identify malaysian drivers? (work permit ones). i can only say those on sv170, sv160 are the easiest to identify..Originally posted by carbikebus:That now SBST Singaporean BCs rose up to 41% compared to last year 28%(Excluding those who resigned)While SMRTB only had 19% Singaporeans.

and that the reason why SMRT drivers like to speed is becos they r malaysians?
and yes... Singaporean drivers seems more impatient and likes to horn..
those on sv170 (high chance is M'sians), in traffic jam at woodlands rd, just stop there and look relax-ed! -
ha.. yes i agree.. i like mk3s also.. is there a difference in engine sound when the mk3s are refurbished? i seemed to feel that the engines dont sound the same before and after..Originally posted by carbikebus:That among the B10M Families,The MKIII are the most durable,Rugged and even outspeed all others B10Ms(No speed limiter)fleets? -
One question to ask you , do you have any idea why some of the mark III and mark IV buses make screeching noises when they started to accelerate ?Originally posted by carbikebus:The only weakness is the bodyworks..Duh!I've driven a SP MKIII Which can hit 90km/h during Off-Service and that Guy engine still not so noisy One SMRTB Merc try to catch up with me when i slow down to 75km/h. -
One factors is the Fanbelt?This one must ask Suhirman or Hseochin.They are more expert!Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:One question to ask you , do you have any idea why some of the mark III and mark IV buses make screeching noises when they started to accelerate ? -
MKIII good!!!! I just cannot understand why plenty of peeps keep saying that it is slow when they can outspeed most other buses. The mkIII is one of the few buses that still mantain the same sound till now. Unfortunately, I hate the purple AC ducts, it makes the interior so gloomy. Little wonder why peeps often do not enjoy rides in it. Another poor one would be its poor acceleration, particularly if it is on svcs such as 372 so on, the mkIII hardly touches 3rd gear. While MB0405s take only under 10s to reach 3rd, the mkIII takes twice or more the time!
Kudos to this gentle unsung hero!

Are u guys tired of the interior of refurbished buses with purple interior? I am
-
I used to put the Mk III in the same league as the DAF. Not anymore, though. My favourite brand is still Scania.
-
m tired as well. the MB, Scania, mk3s all has the same type of cushion, aircon etc..Originally posted by SBS9828X:Are u guys tired of the interior of refurbished buses with purple interior? I am -
Yes, me too. But there are blue interior buses, such as MKIV DM, MKIV Strider and VO3x Batch 1 & 2.Originally posted by 105090:m tired as well. the MB, Scania, mk3s all has the same type of cushion, aircon etc.. -

That among B10M MKIV Duple Metsec & Strider,The latter had the best acceleration?
-
Eh? I thought both have same engine, gearbox? Or is it aerodynamics?Originally posted by carbikebus:That among B10M MKIV Duple Metsec & Strider,The latter had the best acceleration? Are you referring to voith mkIVs? -
yeah striders have better acceleration... today took 2733 on 8... walau can feel the GsOriginally posted by carbikebus:That among B10M MKIV Duple Metsec & Strider,The latter had the best acceleration? -
2733 is DM3500. Mk IV DM refers to those with the semi-circular roof.Originally posted by SBS9828X:yeah striders have better acceleration... today took 2733 on 8... walau can feel the Gs -
2733G is a DM3500 and is HG 7, cant be on 8. Perhaps you took 2744A instead.Originally posted by SBS9828X:yeah striders have better acceleration... today took 2733 on 8... walau can feel the Gs -

That time remember taking SBS 2688D on Sv 119 and the driver was a SP driver of this service. He drove the bus so fast and everytime full sound. At one point he drove the bus around 70kph along Upper Serangoon Rd and overtook some buses. When it stops it was so fast and the bus jerks and also got one time also hit the kerb. It was like a roller-coaster ride for me and was quite fun
