might as well write letter for all the buses to go for maintenance.
usually mkIV's that roar, screech loudly when they move off.. and.. they kinda have pathetic speed.. -

What's gearbox jam problem?
As far as I know, most of the VOs, BN likewise do not have any gearbox problem with the exception of a few whose lock-up clutch is clearly defective.
no gear change. jammed at high gear. auto transmission defective.

But I always like the Sv 36 Mk4 DM3500s, very quiet and smooth......Seems like most if not all of the DM3500 rides to the Airport on 27 and 36 I've took are very pleasant and quiet ones.

I've been on quiet and noisy DM3500 rides. The noisy ones are in bad condition while the quite ones are well mainted in tip top condition. -
