Yes.we both are exactly the same man.i remember when the kubs first came out on svcs 174 and 100,i also was excited and couldn't wait to see them 'live' in action and take them.then i remember when i saw my first kub ever directly at Serangoon Rd,i was so happy for the whole day.now u dont even have to search for a kub.u just step out of your house or turn your head around while u are outside and the first thing u will see will be a kub.
Me too. When it first came out, I was so excited and wanted to take KUBs everyday. But after trying it for a few times, I find that the bus is too jerky and dangerous for PIW onboard. And the steps is very irritating too. Now when I see a OC, I feel the same as what I feel when KUBs first came out. I hope SMRT will not buy 900 of OCs. -
Wonder why most of the handrails paint in K230UB that is transfer frm HGDEP to SLBP come off.

I find that N113CRB's vibration got 'tempo' and nice sounding instead of KUB where it just 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' all the way even when acclerating for some of em.. at least the CRB's one will stop when acclerating.....
Agreed.. Ive onli took my FIRST N113 jus last yr, & ive already like it very much. Although thers some vibrations when its nt moving but no more when it accelerated (which was quite fast!) Too bad i didnt get a chance to take the NAC type :( i like the 'rrreerrrerrr' sound when its nt moving..
N113CRB: A big YES!
KUB: OK, but still NO.

ya...sadly CRBs are going off."The successor of the Scania family, the K230UB got 97% of the bus fans upset. 20% of this 97% felt that the bus have a few unacceptable flaws, 60% of the other bus fans see the bus until go haywire and 17% of the bus fans paid for a cheap massager that worsen their muscle aches on their way to work on the Scanias." * random thoughts of random statistics"

The material itself isn't of good quality (its cheap), you look across all depots, there will sure be many which have the same problems.

That's nothing.At least a few KUBs have their handrails almost ripped off......

KUB's will be looking older then CRB's if this goes on.

have you seen how ah mas board the bus and grab the handrail and pull themselves up the bus using the handrail...
it's just.... door breaking. -
But the job must be sloppy for something that's there for safety purposes to be spoilt just like that.

Gemilang should prepare more spare doors in advance le.Maybe one of the surprises in the Euro V batch - Swing plug front doors with handrails at the entrance (something like the high floor coach) so that the ah mas can next pull themselves up and cause the bus body to break.
