Seriously, How many services under SLBP are actually using K230s ? -

Maybe we should give all the VSOs a ZF and it will be able to speed like nobody's business.it wont speed much faster cos SBST regulate the acceleration so that BCs wun speed

I will try to start joyriding when my Sec school mid year exams are over next Thursday. Where can I catch B10TL's flying over traffic junctions and disappearing in seconds? Then I will ride a Trident to compare.
quite rare for VSO if u ask me. 9845 on 161 in the morning, depending on which bc u meet, the gd one chiong all the yellow lights. if u can, catch the 6.22am sv80 trident (9681B). the bus speeds quite well, if u dont mind all the odd vibrations that tridents produce =P -
SBS 8348U got no camera.

B10TL got comfortable seats! But aircon like nt working well. No offence! (SBS 9817C). Speed dun need to say much compared to LO3x. -

Speed dun need to say much compared to LO3x.9817 is like that. i think some mechanic do like that so that got more power to focus on acceleration. thats why it accelerates alot better than the others. alot of the CNG BCs say. they adjust the aircon fan from speed 2 to 1. the pickup is way better. i dun like very cold buses
but for the Standby BCs. they see B10TL, they slowly drive liao. if they get B9TL different story.

I like their doors closing chime and nice Volgren bodywork! SBST should have gotten Volgren bodywork for future buses. -

The aircon is too low. In the afternoon somemore. A lot passengers were complaining. Some even adjust 4 aircon outlet facing them.

The 2nd batch Scania got 2 things sticking out at the botton of the rear? What is that for?

i like SBS9826B. its quiet compared to the other 161 VSO like 9845 and 9844. it drives well. it doesent squeak like 9845.. the suspension adjust only then dunnno where keep squeaking. 9826 smells right (no kerosene like smell), and best of all, its got good aircon. =) -
SBS8169X to SBS8176A, SBS8460D to SBS8462Z registered today !!!

Our K230UBs have this problem because they are low floor buses. However, why is it that our other low floor buses like the Volvo B10TL and Dennis Trident do not have this problem? I hope that BNDEP and the East will get more and more bumper unfriendlier so the East will not get a single K230UB. -

I hope that BNDEP and the East will get more and more bumper unfriendlier so the East will not get a single K230UB.The problem most probably lies with the soft suspension. If you notice the suspension is softer than most buses in the fleet, except probably the Mercs but then those are "high floor" buses..

9817 today preventive maintenance. i hope the bus still got strength if they blast the aircon.

Maybe BC training for new service. Last time, they also use that route when training for svc 174. -

Service 66 getting a K230UB. Since it touches the East, I wonder what will be the feedback of the people of the East who take 66 be like. Since the K230UBs have very few seats, please, please put them on shorthaul. -

I don't know what the heck you're talking about. K230s are meant for PIWs, not for shorthaul services! Shorthaul services =/= WAB services.In fact, most WAB services are long and tiring journeys.
