  Hey guys you all are talking too technically and am surprised you note so much :o This is too advanced for me.. if u ask me the diff between the 2 euro IV buses (only after reading some posts i realised the other is a euro EEV) i would say (the changes in the latter) - EDS font bigger - Side EDS located at top to accomodate 2 extra seats - Wheelchair space reduced to accomodate 1 wheelchair and 3 extra seats - The handle (or what do you call it :? ) at the seats redesigned so that 2 ppl can sit in the front seats (2 x 2) well that's all I can say so I think I bid adieu as I can't catch up with the technical part I actually came here for bus routes.. so will catch up now and then in that area :)

  This is too advanced for me..

  if u ask me the diff between the 2 euro IV buses (only after reading some posts i realised the other is a euro EEV) i would say (the changes in the latter)

  - EDS font bigger
  - Side EDS located at top to accomodate 2 extra seats
  - Wheelchair space reduced to accomodate 1 wheelchair and 3 extra seats
  - The handle (or what do you call it ) at the seats redesigned so that 2 ppl can sit in the front seats (2×2)
  well that’s all I can say

  so I think I bid adieu as I can’t catch up with the technical part

  I actually came here for bus routes.. so will catch up now and then in that area

  maybe u can check this out, it's my review on the Scania K230UB.

  Review of the Scania K230UB

  I don't understand this topic.. can someone explain?

   

  Most of the times I see bus no. 27 plying along Tampines Ave 1.. Not sure whether it's a bridging bus (those that are deployed to meet demand, as said in SBST website) ..

   

  Anyone else seen any such occurrences of buses plying  along where its not supposed to be (don't include one-off incidents or late night depot departures)
  
  If this is not the place to discuss the above or there's a thread for that, pls let me know also :)

  from cameo threads - his post. yep.

  I doubt you really are a BC :o But anyway, nice to meet u :) Why do so many hate KUBs? Is it that lousy? Is it very difficult to drive it? As long as I'm seated, I love to travel in it. But it can get jerky if you are standing. Blame it on the extra sensitive brakes :?

  Hahaz.

  I'm really a BC. Wont reveal my service. If i say it you pple sure can spot me.

  I hate K230UBs coz passengers always love to stand near the front door. It's coz of the bad design. Kena taluk(complained) before by some KPO passengers saying tt i never tell the pple standing there to move inside. But the fact is, pple can still board! (usually when we ask pple to move in is to help more passengers board the bus, not to chase pple in)

  I also hate pple to stand near me when im driving. Very irritating to have pple watching me when im driving. K230UB's design seem to encourage that.

  I have no problem with pple watching me from far. I just dont like pple standing beside me. Especially pple sitting at my cabin door when inside is clear. Or standing beside me when so many seats inside. Irritating.

  Yeah that would definitely be irritating I myself like to watch the BC driving when I have to stand there (when the bus is full). Otherwise I would rather sit down than to stand in the bus that violently brakes.

  Another problem abt K230UBs is its vibration. After a driving for ard 9hrs hearing the "kluk kluk kluk" vibration can really give me a headache at the end of the day :(
