The EDS is from "Gorba", not coolair. -
The scanias has too little seats. Agree or Disagree?
I much rather have a german bus around singapore that i can actually sit in than stand around the whole journey in a swedish bus.

Take note that the problem with the number of seats is not related to whether the bus is a german or swedish one. -

Talk about common sense..... -

continuing from the thread by SBS7382C, locked by ^tamago^ and request to continue here:
Why do we hate the new scania so much?
This is due to alot of reasons: (pls note that i dont dislike KUBs)
1. SBS Transit bought too many of a single model and all of them are bodied by Gemilang. Some are thinking that maybe some can be bodied by another company. Or maybe SBST could buy some KUBs and some of other model/brand (ie. B7RLE). My answer for this point is that SBST had to do it for being cost-efficient. Buying in bulk will save cost and it will facilitate maintainence.
2. Many have bad experience with the Scania N113CRBs. Noisy, bad vibrations are some of the reasons. So stereotyping occurs where the KUBs are as bad. And that so happen they took some "lousy" KUBs which further prove their own point.
3. When the Batch 1 KUBs came into revenue service, many problems did occur like vibrations, jerking etc. I agree that at then, it was really a problem. But subsequently when the other batches came in, the problems started to subside, althought it still exists. My point is that the jerking problem will not be solved immediately as it all depends on the BC's experience and judgement on how much pressure to apply on the brakes and accelerator.
One point to note: Why does it take so long for BCs to get used to the accelerating and braking system of the KUBs?
For older buses, upon releasing the brake, the bus will move alittle. However for the KUBs, the bus does not move after releasing the brake, so a longer time is needed to adapt to this system.

no wonder ppl complains about KUBs on 238 due to lesser seats. =.= very coomon to see ppl complaining about less seats

i think only 4 more seats can be fitted at one PIW area. (maybe sideway facing / forward facing.At least there are now feedback for SBST after the initial 500 buses are in, and they might configure the Euro V batch accordingly.
and SBST not likely to order midi buses anymore. Like the ex-SBST bendies, tough to deploy to other services, and can only stick to certain services.

I'd be glad only if the newer scanias got different engine sounds and uses other types of bodyworks! Hope other bodyworks makers quickly buck up and move in to compete for a share and offer better quotations to SBST! -

3) If I am not wrong, the subsequent batch hav loud radiator when the bus idle? The ABS effect seems to be strong that it kind of lock the wheel whenever it brakes. This sometimes cos passenger to fall.The good thing for me as a resident living near the roadside is the quiet engine compared to other models.

When idle and moving off, the newer batches indeed have a louder sound created by the radiator. And it seems like they produce more heat from the radiator as well... The ABS part very hard to control as it's auto.. So just hope they do some adjustments on the Euro V...

Myabe the 400 buses should have 8033D's interior, so at least the Scanias look more variety to ride.

Agreed. After all, everyone wants change....

don't think so that will happen. That will make the demonstrator look the same as the 400 and it won't be so much of a difference already
