  SBS 8237H. The number 27 is on the top line instead of covering both lines.

  The digit with small font only, destination remain the same. Seems to me like half of the size of normal size?

  KUB and B10M bhp input is almost simmilar but torque is different. If you are proving that KUB can go up a 10 percent grade faster than a B10M, it could prove,

  1) KUB is more lighter than B10M

  2) KUB torque or bhp output is higher than B10M

  while 8111 on 48 was climbing up the slope, it could overtake 2888 on 518.

  I got to try the KUB on 48 climbing up the steep slope one day. Anyway there could be some factors why the KUB is travelling faster than other buses. Like : KUB driver could be very late and is rushing for time while the other services drivers are on schedule. I will comment after taking a ride on 48.

   

  Cheers

  The K230UBs in Australia are significantly heavier than any B10M city bus.  The engine in the K230UB produces higher torque at lower rpm than the engine in the B10Ms though.
