Volvo B9TL

No lah, Habits hold the first gear very long, but 4-speed Voiths don't hold the first gear as long.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Yea. The current bodywork is abit like copying Wright buses' design, nth special. Haven't taken a Voith 4-speed bus yet (PS: I haven't even try out the B9TL.
) But since it changes gear like the Habits like what some people said, i would like to see more Voiths!

Its not very Wright, the design has only a few similarities with Wright if you notice.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Yea.

How can you comment on how ZF B9TLs would perform better than Voith ones before you posted the post when you have not even taken a B9TL. Its simply ridiculous to compare in such a way simply because you like the gearbox. Certain models work well with Voith and certain models work well with ZF.
I'd like to highlight to you that the way you post seems to be saying what you like is superior than what you don't like. -
Huh? I got say ZF will out perform a Voith meh?Originally posted by Scania:Its not very Wright, the design has only a few similarities with Wright if you notice.

Maybe u got the wrong idea. But, ZF will out perform the Voith during the first few stages of acceleration, and that's a fact. However, Voith will out perform ZF when it reaches top speed. That's what im trying to say. Say compare a Dennis Lance and a Voith-ed Habit at a traffic light. The Dennis Lance will out perform the Habit first, however the Habit will overtake the dennis lance very soon. I like all buses regardless of its gearbox, each gearbox will have its cons and pros.
And yes, i shouldn't have posted the post since i haven't even taken the B9TL, and im sorry , that's my fault.
Regarding what u said in the last sentence, yea, i have a little of such thinking. Its just like, u love your parents alot, and definitely you will say that your parents are more superior then mine. You will definitely praise or be biased about your own lovings. Dont tell me that you think that something u like suck and mine rocks better than yours? That's why most people are biased about their own things, because they think that the things that they like are far more superior than the things you dont like.

I like this bus very much, not because its new. Its the Air-con and the sound, I like the strong aircon but sometimes during rainy days........I will be very cold...

Did anyone notice some (especially those 74** ) B9TLs have purple EZ-Link readers?
-
Looks like 76 will be one of the WAB services sooner or later
-
Purple and orange to be precise.Originally posted by SBS9806J:Did anyone notice some (especially those 74** ) B9TLs have purple EZ-Link readers? -
Marine Parade, S'goon, AMK handicapped ppl can take direct bus the places.Originally posted by choww:Looks like 76 will be one of the WAB services sooner or later
Maybe svc 43 deserve more, it serves East Coast! But the 2 svcs had their own demand. So, let SBST and PTC to decide! -
The fact that Service 76 serves Ang Mo Kio Community Hospital, plays a bigger role in the WAB service selection.
-
AMK Hospital offers geriatric services (for old people), therapy services (physiotherapy), specific exercise rehabilitation (for patients suffering from strokes, fractures, amputation, Parkinson's disease, poor mobility and functional decline)
Physiotherapy services such as
Neck and back pain
Sports and work related injuries
Arthritis conditions
Post-surgical orthopaedic rehabilitation
Other orthopaedic and musculoskeletal disorder / impairment
In short, it will help people who need to get to hospital in wheelchairs lar. -
Agree with that, but you dont have to say it so exact.Originally posted by Zilchster:AMK Hospital offers geriatric services (for old people), therapy services (physiotherapy), specific exercise rehabilitation (for patients suffering from strokes, fractures, amputation, Parkinson's disease, poor mobility and functional decline)

I forgot about AMK Hosp. so I made a wrong guess. -
With the example given by Zilchster, I think they should have given 76 their WABs much earlier.
