Hi all. i just took the K230UB for the first time and was really pleased that the ride was very comfortable.Unlike the 0405 mercs and the N113CRBS that ply service 57, the engine is very vocal in accleration. The brakes were strong and powerful.
1) What brakes does the bus have? it is powerful
2)Is the engine a straight 6 diesel or inline 4 turbo?
3)What is the difference between the demo k230UB and the current batches of the 230UB?
4)Is the bus equipped with a ZF or a Voith Gearbox?
5)I understand that the bodywork is by Gemilang.Is SBS8030L bodied by Gemilang as well?
6)Are the K230UBs replacing the N113s and the 0405 on Svc 57?
Thanks!
2. Inline 6-cylinder diesel with turbo.
3. The demo has a different bodywork from the rest.
4. should be a ZF6HP502C
5. Soon Chow Auto
6. Volvo B10M Mark IIs and Scania N113CRBs were transferred a few years ago already at around 2005/2006. The Scania K230UB replace a portion of the 0405 in the fleet

Having been an ex-student of YNPS who had taken this school bus home, it would have been obvious that I know most of the information.Rather, if my intention of the question wasn't understood, I should rephrase the question as:
"Over at Anderson Primary School, what was the replacement for CB 5624X?"
I know your actual question. I'm just stating the background of the bus itself and not the deployment.As to your question, camp outside Anderson Primary for the answer.

no 179 frequency is about 1-3minutes at that time.

The "dragon" is perm 3.The latter... should be SP if not perm 9. Either one.

y perm 9 cannot perm 18 should extend more bus on svc 18 maybe that sp 3 scanina will become perm 18 god knows.

It is not perm on 9.18 has got enough buses to cope, that's why 33 no longer does the crossover to 18.

Erm, its Soon Chow and not Soon Chow Auto, think you got confused between Soon Chow and SC Auto.

Next Bus: 22 mins
Subsequent Bus: 36 minsbut in the end, reach Kranji, come liao.
170X no iris timing at all!

i saw so many Malaysian lorries yesterday along WDL rd. i wonder wat will happen to the freq of 170 n 170B after 630pm
