Hino Volgren on S176!
-
Hey guys, some of you may have your dream come true! A Hino Volgren on 176! Come to think of it, 176 might be the service that have the most kind of bus models on it, for e.g., all bendies except Volgren bendy, DAFs, Hinos, Nissans(in the past), O405s(hispano only).Btw anyone spotted any Hinos on 176?

Sry guys! I didn't get to notice the rego, i was at the opposite lane, and the bus just zoomed past! And i think it should be the Hino, cuz the rear axle isn't the same as the Volgren O405, the axle is similar to the Dennis Lances. Btw i would love to have Dennis Lances on 176! I would like to see them "zoom" along Corporation road! If only the UK ones are 245 engined ones, cuz they accelerate better!
And guys, why is it that those bus coaches can speed faster than city buses? -

176 along Corporation Road? How come I never see before? -
cos they're made for it. the trade off is, speed faster but accelerate slower...Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:And guys, why is it that those bus coaches can speed faster than city buses? -
We might see a Hino on 176 & 184 as as these 2 buses used to have Daf buses formerly in the weekends , so now the Dafs are gone to serve 945 , the Hinos will take over their jobs.

the gears are diff from puplic buses right?? i mean they are tuned to low acceleration but higher speed cos they don stop often right??Originally posted by ^tamago^:cos they're made for it. the trade off is, speed faster but accelerate slower... -
omg.. then all the 0405 will be gone..Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Sry guys! I didn't get to notice the rego, i was at the opposite lane, and the bus just zoomed past!

Well , every sundays and PH we will be seeing some ''nice nice'' buses on Sv 176 , 184 etc , so its not rare to see DAF/Hino on 176 , 184.

Hope to see Scanias OAC/CAC and Volgren Bendies on sv 176 tooOriginally posted by striderz_o405:Dennis Lances on 176? Wait long long -
Hino on 985, 176, 188
Hino are no longer on BB feeder...
DAFs are taking over... good...better suspension for 945 humps...... -
Also wait long long for it to happenOriginally posted by vivienlee:Hope to see Scanias OAC/CAC and Volgren Bendies on sv 176 too -
Agree , I'd rather the DAF serve BB Feeders especially 945. The Hino shld go on some trunk services.Originally posted by muziq bus:Hino on 985, 176, 188

hmm? I thought all of the Malaysia and UK built lances(TIBS regos) are on the 245 engine?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Sry guys!

Dun think so, Malaysian ones are C245 i think, where as UK ones are C211. You might also want to take a trip on both of them, they have different performances. And bout the route of 176, ps ps! Im poor at remembering the road names!Originally posted by XiaoTaro:hmm? I thought all of the Malaysia and UK built lances(TIBS regos) are on the 245 engine? I also want to see Volgren bendies on 176!! The loudest bus of SMRT's bus fleet! I love their acceleration sounds! And i think you're right. Bus coaches are very slow in acceleration, maybe because the first few gears are "super low" gears used to climb hilly roads, however, their speed are much faster, especially european ones. I noticed that those older Mitsubishi coaches in SG are much slower than those Malaysian Mercedes, even though they are of the same age as them, anyone noticed that? -
i prefer uk's dennis.. malaysia's one are jux crap..Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Dun think so, Malaysian ones are C245 i think, where as UK ones are C211.

and btw, i don think 176 will have volgren bendies unless smrt buys more of them (which i think its not so soon or it wil nv happen at all also..).. then divide the volgrens evenly to the depots.. and vola! -
I agree with you. I prefer UK's one, only for its bodywork. I prefer the Malaysia ones for performance. Ya, it will never happen. SMRT will never be able to buy anymore Merc O405, firstly because it is not a WAB/low-floor bus, secondly, the production of the O405/O405G model may have been stopped, replaced by the OC500LE.Originally posted by manjieass:i prefer uk's dennis.. malaysia's one are jux crap..

the volgrens suspension, bad except for mercedes...
yesterday
sv.985 due to jam at PIE accident (cement mixer X-over the opposite direction plus rainy day) bus braked hard often and the bus bounced in an ugly too many times -
Hmm , yeah true , the Hino Volgrens suspension is not really good especially when it on bumpy roads.. overall its ok.
