  Why SBS New Scania Bus very jerk one ?

  I haven't take one is without jerky one !!!

  I call this new series bus as Jerky bus !

  what cause it jerk acctually ? Is it bus setting wrongly or BC dunt have the skill to control the bus ?

  the jerk is mainly from increase speed when change gear from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3  leh !

  I think the suspension is too soft, very uncomfortable and being  torture by SBS and still have to paid for it !!!OMG !!

  I almost Vomit this morning leh !!

  i love it. thats what makes it distinct.

  at last, driver can pay revenge to natughty customer but if they complain, blame it on bus.

  For me:
  
  2/5 rating for the KUBs.
  
  Not sure about the OCs though but I hope it is not... Mercedes what steady bus man!

  All services in Changi Airport have the new buses except 858 and not sure if 858's getting them.So if you wan wait, suit yourself. Personally to me, i don't find this bus lame at all. I take them to afternoon tution, i take them to interchange,  take them to Changi Airport, i take them to all sorts of places

  

  It's 9/10 because i thought that if there's so many storage space then the BC never use them, it's a waste mah.

  The Scania's jerks are because of the ZF 6 speed gearbox.

  Apart from that i give it a 2.5 out of 5. Bland looks and interior, uncomfortable Vogelsitze and quite alot of vibrations for some scanias.

  Hi all,

  bus jerky is due to it's Bus Stop Brake, aka Halt Brake for SMRT MBG.  It's a kind of brake that activate when any door opens.  In order to prevent the bus jerky, the BC has to gently pedal down the accl to release the Bus Stop Brake.

  Scania citybuses r known for their engines, not their suspensions though

  So when BC floor the accl pedal after doors closed, it's just like manual, high rev then throw clutch, that's y jerky.  BC Trg should emphazie their trainees for that.

  Other than being new, the ride is jerky, has way lesser seats, I also feel that the door takes a longer time to close compared to the older SDs. They should stop buying these type of buses from now. I rate it 2/10.

  No choice, need to compromise some seating space to allow 2 wheelchair to move.
