Recommended Buses
-
To sidetrack..
I have chosen SBS2753Z as one of my choice is that this bus has smooth acceleration and able to reach 60km/h within seconds but also must see how the BC drives. haha
Brake is smooth and the aircon is still alright
Minus Point,
Entrance door(which open and close slowly) -
SBS807R. another SBS724X
-
SBS7414U for me nia...
-
Haha in my opinion,
Merc: SBS194A and SBS241Y
(Relatively quiet, strong aircon, good acceleration)
113crb: SBS3648M (Quiet and little rattling, but now lay up le
) DM3500: SBS2693M (little rattling)
Strider: SBS1903P (the engine sounds abit like mk3, quite cosy especially when raining). Just don't sit at the back seat, it squeaks and it is loose
MK4 DM: SBS994H (Clear ZF howls)

Interesting you recommend voith B9. Why you like to contradict yourself? Failure. -

In my opinion, ZF B9TLs accelarate slower than Voith B9TLs as ZF B9TLs have 6 gears, resulting in gear change being too fast (same for KUBs) which may slow it down. -

SBS3625A is the best ride on a Scania N113CRB you could wish for. (Sv 186)
TIB1024H has lost it's 1st gear and it starts accelerating from 2nd Gear and straight into 3rd. (Sv 913)
TIB369U has a slighty tuned engine that gives more rpm. A good ride (Sv 981/SP)
SBS8031M: Little Vibration, Smooth Ride (Sv 6)
SBS3604P: A bus that has little vibration. Cannot ride on it anymore (Training Bus)
TIB792E: Interior is still rotten but bus performance is an a ok (Sv 307)
SMB1H: A good ride. Little Vibration. Just hope the PM shift BC doesn't drive it. (I think most of you should know why) (Sv 190)
Buses I dun recommend:
TIB372C: Seats can be lifted and vibration (not that vigorous as those ELBOs)
TIB1254K: Terrible Interior
There was a day TIB1024H came for to sv. 900 to cameo and the sound is pretty horrid IMO. And its TIB372J not TIB372C.For me a must try must be TIB1166G. The engine sound is like super powerful and punchy. TIB525K is also one of the few a bus fan must try because of its uniqueness of being TRG. It can be found at 6 to 7am on 911 but makes regular cameos in the day as well, consisting of 859 and 173 fairly recently. TIB588D is anothr must try because of its extremely nice to listen engine; it differs slightly from other SMRT Merz. And for the SBST side perhaps SBS9325E, which performs extremely well and perhaps SBS9844Z, a hopeless bus but for some reason I just like it

Actually the ZF B9s are tuned to change gears at roughly 1800rpm with the exception of the transition between the 2 overdrives......it's the Voith B9s that are actually tuned to change at lower rpms with the exception of that between 1st and 2nd. -

??????????????????????Do you even know what affects the acceleration of a bus? Is it just gearbox???

TIB1169Z and TIB1164L engines sound powerful too
Recommend SBS9508U as the bus can speed well along the highway and fast acceleration too... -
SBS201M

I have no recommendations for particular buses, but for bus models overall and generally, I recommend:
For those looking for excellent ride characteristics:
Dennis Trident 3, Volvo B7RLE, Scania L94UB, Volvo B10BLE CNG
For those looking for good commuter comfort (design of interior, seats etc.):
Scania K230UB demonstrator - SBS 8033D, Scania L94UB, SMRT's Volgren-bodied buses, Dennis Lance (U.K. version), Volvo B10BLE Diesel, Volvo B10M MK IV (DupleMestec, DupleMestec DM3500, and Alexander Strider versions), Dennis Trident 3

I object!
The dennis trident offers some of the worst rides you can ever ask for!

Oo
I don't personally think so though - or is it that the acceleration is too much for you?

So an F1 car should use 3 gears instead of 7 gears so that it will accelerate faster? -

So you are trying to say more gear mean can accelarate better la -

No lah, he saying 1 gear best :P
