SMRT tenders for 66 new 12m buses
-
I don't think they would, unless they place in more buses which is really impossible.Originally posted by XiaoTaro:haha, i agree with u on that!
At least they can improve frequency with those CSS nissans and stop some complains on "Long waiting time for buses" while generating more complains on "Lousy and dirty buses"
-
Overhaul, like major repair. Change or not, not sure, but it's still a 4HP500.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Erh what you mean? U mean they changed the gearboxes? From ZF Ecomat 4HP500 to ZF Ecomat-2 4HP502 ?

No wonder. Some of the gearbox i cant hear the "wheeeeooooorrrrr" properly. The sound is very soft.Originally posted by ^tamago^:Overhaul, like major repair. Change or not, not sure, but it's still a 4HP500. -
Wait.... I think we forgot something. Does Scania rattles alot like the L113CRL?
Or does the L94UB rattles? -
What do u meanOriginally posted by TIB1049L:I don't think they would, unless they place in more buses which is really impossible. -
I mean that they could only improve the frequency if they place more buses in 608; but most probably they won't since 608 seems to be chopped soonOriginally posted by XiaoTaro:What do u mean -
i've jux emailed smrt about bus cleaniness and new buses on thursday.. so jux wait for the reply from smrt..

Sekali now, they actually not wanting to buy brand new buses... They put ad in the newspaper to see which private operator want to sell their old front engined NAC laupok buses...Originally posted by Volvo Olympian:SMRT only re-use the CSS Nissans

Did I say the Citaro is not using electronically controlled air suspension?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Nope. Regarding the engine, Citaros have two options. They can choose the puny 7 litre OM906hLA (used in both Citaro and Citaro Gs as well) diesel engine, or the biggest, 11967cc (12 litre) engine, with outputs of 299hp(both Citaro and Citaro Gs) and 354hp(used for Citaro Gs only).. Regarding the suspension, Citaro is not using electronically controlled air-suspension arh?
OC500LEs would not cost more because they are not bodied yet, but after they get their body, who knows?
Sorry, most operators only choose the option of that OM906hLA cock engine for Citaro.
OM457hLA is the STANDARD on OC500LE and is 11967cc, comparable to an O.405.
Citaro Lags all time. -
What do you mean by lag?Originally posted by Scania:Citaro Lags all time. -
Can't perform as well as a OC500LE?Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:What do you mean by lag? -
Of course larh. 7litres and 12 litres how to compare?Originally posted by Scania:Can't perform as well as a OC500LE? Its like comparing a 1000kw vaccuum cleaner with a 2000kw cleaner, whose suction power is more powerful? Ofcuz is the 2000kw one right?

maybe they'll buy China buses like those used by RapidKL in Malaysia(they look good)...after all, seeing many posts, it's said that smrt is not in a good financial situationOriginally posted by Rooky:i hope SMRT buys japanese or korean buses leh, like UD, Hino, Daewoo.... -
Obviously. Imagine having to refurblish the trains and buying 66 new buses at the same time; definetely got finacial problem.Originally posted by simnatic:maybe they'll buy China buses like those used by RapidKL in Malaysia(they look good)...after all, seeing many posts, it's said that smrt is not in a good financial situation -
Still got the upcoming glass fence leh for the mrt stations for added safety?Originally posted by TIB1049L:Obviously. Imagine having to refurblish the trains and buying 66 new buses at the same time; definetely got finacial problem. Newspaper wan smrt to put in glass doors i think. -
Yup. They have wheel rims similar to Scania's , which i think Scania's is cooler.Originally posted by simnatic:maybe they'll buy China buses like those used by RapidKL in Malaysia(they look good)...after all, seeing many posts, it's said that smrt is not in a good financial situation Btw does those china buses comply with EuroIV regulations? And also, they must be WAB. Think those china buses aren't low-floor, let alone WAB. -
LOL... I don't even think those buses even comply with their own local emission standards (which are so low...)!Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Btw does those china buses comply with EuroIV regulations?
Sekali the whole engine is a pirated version, copy from another brand... -
although they are backed by a rich companyOriginally posted by TIB1049L:Obviously. Imagine having to refurblish the trains and buying 66 new buses at the same time; definetely got finacial problem.

Skarly the whole engine explode when under stress when used on heavy demand service.Originally posted by stooper:LOL... I don't even think those buses even comply with their own local emission standards (which are so low...)!
Sekali the whole engine is a pirated version, copy from another brand...
So since they dont comply with EuroIV standards, china buses are out. Left with japanese and korean buses. But i think they only comply with EuroIII standards? -
Off topic: Those who want commit suicide easy lah! Bang their head into the glass then jump onto the tracks. Tougher to save that poor fellow.Originally posted by Scania N113CRB luver:Still got the upcoming glass fence leh for the mrt stations for added safety? Newspaper wan smrt to put in glass doors i think.
On topic: What's with Korean, Chinese and Japanese Buses? Spare parts is an issue. Do they know how to maintain the Korean or Japanese bus then? Japanese possibly lah. Who has details of the Nissan Scorpion btw? -
Aiyoh, still very difficult... They would still need a long time to clean up the mess after the train wheels have squashed the person. If want to commit suicide, then just stab yourself at home lah! No need to cause a big disruption to other commuters...Originally posted by Donavan:Off topic: Those who want commit suicide easy lah! Bang their head into the glass then jump onto the tracks.

Yah lor. Bloody ingrates. Go and throw themselves in front of the track, or PUSH people into the train gateway to nothingness.Originally posted by stooper:Aiyoh, still very difficult... They would still need a long time to clean up the mess after the train wheels have squashed the person. If want to commit suicide, then just stab yourself at home lah!

On-topic: Will SMRT find an external bodybuilder or actually buy a complete bus? THis is the first time SMRT actually is buying buses. -
In the first place, the bloody government should pay and install the barriers. Complete idiots who lack the understanding of what a public/municipal good is. And still can debate over who should bear the cost..get some brains and stop dilly-dallying you overpaid twits.

Hope that SMRT buys the new 66 Merz or Scania K124IB with SC Auto bodywork , SC Evolution which the Sentosa Isuzus have!

They put ad in the newspaper to see which private operator want to sell their old front engined NAC laupok buses... ? or use these 2nd hand buses?
