SBS 340U in 242

Never trust the speedometer on your own vehicle 100%. Always use the SWD/brake roller tester that's been calibrated once a year to define the speed. While on another vehicle tailing the front vehicle, always give 10kph of errors off and on. But to be clocked at 80+ high chance there's something wrong with the speed limiter. The BC should be penalised for not reporting such an incident.Originally posted by SBS3625D:Then I must say that the LOs on 161 all have faulty speed-limitors bcos all run on SLE with speed exceeding 70km/h throughout most journeys. I don't look at the speedometer on the bus, I use my father's car to check out how fast they go. The record though, goes to 965 MB0405 at 85km/h. I love the LOs when they speed, they are very stable. -
how about i correct youOriginally posted by muziq bus:Hey dude, dont correct a bus enthusiast... 179 and 242 share buses...
that is why, at times, 242 gets the Leyland Olympian 3-axled DD buses...
and please, this is a dumb topic...
SBS340 may never serve 179. it is the superbuses on 242 and 179 that get shared. seldom will the merc SD get shared. however vo2x i spotted on 242 from 179 b4.

I actually find that many of them (especially the newer ones) to sound quite futuristic. If you ever watched a science-fiction movie (example: «Gattaca»), and heard how those cars and vehicles sound like, you wil know. SBS Transit's Mercedes MB O405 buses with Voith gearboxes also gives me the same feelingOriginally posted by chickenlittle2:Now I also find out a lot of Volvo B10M Mark IV (DM3500) also got strange engine. Like sitting 5 tunnel (ARmy Truck)

Dunno about sbs but sometimes i got take some 'strider' and can overtake some cars. hahaha. if got bus sound like a harley surely fun. And i also got see some lance keeps hissing every 2 seconds which is quite irritating.

Last time, on a MK2 on 154 (1738A) along AYE, managed to overtake quite a lot of trucks!Originally posted by XTransbus:lol.

And also on 79, at night, along Jalan Buroh, can overtake quite a lot of trucks. I was on the only NAC MK2 on 79 and took only 25min from Jurong East to BNL... -
