But then I grew up taking 0405s so.....that wasn't such a big deal.
I think e aircon flow is not very good for the pioneer batch esp.But least better than e Kawasaki 2001 trains

2nd last bus service 27 is always shiok if you get a
driver.
x2.The KUBs sound really good when the rpm hits 1800.
But anything more it will sound like some stuck pig.

The only thing i dont like about KUB is some of them, have the infamous heat wave that spreads rapidly throughout the rear of the bus especially on a hot day. One can feel as if its an oven. Other than that, its quite a good bus actually.
Agree, especially on Euro 4 KUB.
Cheers.

Anyway, some notable (but minor) changes i observed from the vid is that between this and 136c is that the front and back doors no longer give the loud and high pitched beep when closing. That was really really annoying on 136c.
Also, notice the panel just infront of the videographer. It seems to be made of frosted glass now instead of plastic on 136c. The plastic panel was already pretty worn out and loose when i took it in january.

I believe when times come partly will be poorly maintance just like any other buses..Wonder if the engine is as reliable and durable as the O405s

The current 75 fleet is very unstable. Most of them keep running around, even TIB766G, and most of WRI svcs random permers are doing 75. -
Who edited in SGwiki that SMB143G is WLDEP-bound? Is she seen on any WLDEP-Services yet?

You can try approaching the customer service at the interchanges. They would be more than happy to assist you.Originally posted by TIB 781 L:Seen on 75 today?
yes -
The Citaros were purchased and not on trial, nor will they be sold anytime soon.
Why not take them when the chance comes at more convenient times?

Looking forward to their introduction, like how the KUBs entered service.
But that would mean bidding farewell to the MKIIIs. The truly ever-reliable workhorses. No mean feat that all 300 actually survived the 17 years with none being lost.
