The front of the bus is abit of an overkill, more like a zhng-ed up sbs bus or a photoshopped bus instead.
I cant imagine seeing hundreds of it on the roads

Only managed to inform a few bus fans bef my phone batt went dead...Originally posted by muziq bus:thanks to the early morning tip off from TIB 589 B...
SBS 8030 L is on 174E
Almost thought I saw the wrong bus...
Maybe cos those 174e Merc were on cameo... -

ZF 6-speed.Originally posted by Y_Shun:The bus also sounds very much like SMRT 0405(and little Dennis Lance? ).
Surely with MKIV DM already sounding like Dennis Lance (ZF 4-speed) this bus would also sound like one mah.
Just hope it don't have such low frequency engine sounds for 5th gear or 6th gear like the K230s. -
Ugly lor. The photo Chris took (first pic of 8030L) with the left signal turned on really looks like a devil shining his teeth.Originally posted by stooper:The invasion of the devils...
Ok... stop imagining. -
hey gt one question, is this the only single-deck bus in the world that has no rear window lolz
-
No. New M'sia buses (KL) have none.Originally posted by SBS594D:hey gt one question, is this the only single-deck bus in the world that has no rear window lolz -

Only difference between them is Dennis Lance has this turbocharge sound after 1st gear while MKIV DM is of a lower frequency.Originally posted by Y_Shun:I dun feel MKIV DM sounds like Dennis Lance.... -

but sbs seriously have to go back to the drawing board and cut some corners (Like they always do) to non demos
and change the design abit. -
Ya, SBS 3911C was on Svc 242 today. I think this bus seems like just cameo on 174E.Originally posted by brotherchen1982:Only managed to inform a few bus fans bef my phone batt went dead...

error the gearbox is a Zf5HP592C ecomat IIOriginally posted by Y_Shun:I dun feel MKIV DM sounds like Dennis Lance....
interior rocks. performance rocks. seat ok. rigid bucket seats but comfy. unlike KL, they used REAL expensive Vogesitze. these seats r the most modern European product ever on a bus. lol
bus pick up very fast. not gutless at all. seating is 28 compared with scania 29. like the "granny" seats at front. like the copy Citaro seating style at rear. like the one person grip n standee space at rear exit.
like the dash. nice 6 paged computer display. can even do diagnostics on board bus. on baord computer zai. is a coach dash not citybus format. no wonder i see i blur.
big windows and no rattling sound gives u the impression that u are in a new bus

Wow, five speed? Fresh...

Maybe half of them were asking BC why he drive such a devilish looking bus.Originally posted by TIB1224Y:Wow, five speed? Fresh...

interior design is rather like the B9TL, looks quite nice, esp the back. seats also have a rather unique design, a bit like rapidKL, but at least got stuffing. i dun understand why some people dun like the back. the absence of rear window is rather refreshing, but i dun think its very nice nor very ugly.
but the front is...
looks like an attempt to put a coach front onto a public bus, IMO looks like a devil glaring at you. the two white parts at the sides of the front bumper looks very obiang, wud look better if its painted purple. other then the front the aesthetic design of the bus is still rather good, and a refreshing change from conventional designs. -
It was not design by SBS in the first place. Do not think that evrything is by in-house designer.Originally posted by kenn3th:Kinda
but sbs seriously have to go back to the drawing board and cut some corners (Like they always do) to non demos
and change the design abit. -

There is a reason on why the back of the bus is design in this way.

somehow i feel that the VOLVO badges were isntalled by SBSt..because when i saw it before revenue service..it did not have 3 shiny VOLVO badges all over the bus
-
yep. Improved on the existing design.Originally posted by sBs_boy:It was not design by SBS in the first place. Do not think that evrything is by in-house designer. -
What do you mean by REAL Vogelsitze ?Originally posted by ZYX2005:. rigid bucket seats but comfy. unlike KL, they used REAL expensive Vogesitze. these seats r the most modern European product ever on a bus. lol

thumbs up for this bus! controls are very agile with a responsive and powerful engine. worth joyriding again and again.
