  Yeah.. lol MB405 and LO3x are okay.
  Maybe LO3x from the BC point of view no good, but from passenger point of view, fast...

  In the past, most of the original bolts were missing. Then all the A/C water leak from there.
  Now at least they put back some new bolts

  SMRT Buses . (rigids)
  
  Best Worst IMO .
  
  Mercedes Benz O405 Volgren . One of the few O405s that have a very modern looking interior .
  
  Mercedes Benz O405 Hispano Box OAC . A/c very good , shiok .
  
  Mercedes Benz O405 Hispano Box CAC . Altho a/c lousy , i enjoy their quick acceleration and good suspension .
  
  Dennis Lance UK/Volgren . A powerful bus with a powerful acceleration , but lousy brakes .
  
  Dennis Lance UMW . Its powerful acceleration compensates its ugly interior and lousy suspension .
  
  Hino Volgren . A rather nice bus to take .
  
  Scania L113CRL ELBO . I find this bus a nicer bus to take than its Strider brother . Only downside is its horrendous rattling and poor aircon .
  
  DAFs . This bus has a rather good acceleration and top speed . But i dont really like its bodywork design and leaky a/c . Suspension quite good IMO .
  
  Scania L113CRL Strider . This bus has a rather good aircon , but as above , i dont like its bodywork . Also , sitting at the back of the bus for long distance can be very demanding .
  
  UDs. Needless to say .

  For 0405, the steering is light.
  
  Not sure for B9TL, asked a few of the HG BC, they said just like the same of driving those normal Volvo DDs.

  For O405 , is because of its powerful acceleration and soft steering i think . You can steer the bus with just one hand .
  
  For B9TL . think is because its new ?

  Took 961 the full route, took me close to 2 hours.
  
  Took 960 full route quite a few times. Remember taking that service to Rochor Area with my grandmother which was a rigid and was crowded. After taking this trip, she kena stroke. Then another time took it around 9+ from Marina Centre to WDL. Reached WDL almost to 11+pm
