  IMHO, if SMRT gonna bring in China-made buses, I would prefer them to lower their fares since purchasing of Yutong buses sure to be lower than Merc OCs. And as it's China made, I hope SMRT will be able to maintain it well, not like those ELBOs which gonna phase out by year end. Benefits for both operators and commuters.

  Cheers.

  I would gladly assume that China buses are not so drastically lower in price compared to a Mercedes or Scania to be able to warrant a fare decrease.
  What I would hope is a stable crude oil price to reduce the general price fluctuation in general goods.

  between the both i feel king long is better.

  price wise, im not sure whats teh difference between buses from YT and KL, say both are given with the same specs (engine power, length, etc). but so far my experience with kinglong coaches has been good. engine noise is well insulated, the air con is good, the seats are italian FAINSA, and there are even LCD tv's in the bus. keep it up, king long :)

  same can't be said for the K230UB's..

  due to it's featherweight and the fact that fully loaded, it's still too light.
