Daimler delivers largest Asian Citaro order to date (Part 2)
-
Overall i like KUB more than SBS Citaro. Although SBS Citaro is also comfort but there are some bad points
1) The 2 single seats on both sides facing the front is too hot, whether is i board the bus at Int, or outside (either w/ or w/o others has sat on it anot) might be due to the wheel's heat coming up.
2) Sit for long time oso not good cos the cushion is very thin and it gets hot compared to the SMRT ones. Aircon wise, smrt has control so it will be much more cooler. While SBS has no control so during hot days i dont really feel cool.
3) The doors sometimes cant "eat" the connection to the buttons. When driver press to close, it will suddenly open back halfway and the driver had to press again causing it to slam "Pom, Pom"

I doubt so. The order of these 300 new buses is most likely as one whole batch of the Citaro 2 agreed in late 2010 as a total package of the deal.But I do hope that SBST will get the new Mercedes Benz Citaro C2 EURO VI buses to replace the future retiring Volvo B10Ms.
if the a/c and the bodywork can be purchased and done by SBST themselves, i wouldn't mind.otherwise i don't really have a good impression of the citaros.

6218 is BBDEP. saw it on 195 for a couple of days, suspected perm

I'm not sure if this was reported, but seems like the Citaros' A/C has a blower option (idk what you call that, but it is the highest power setting). Some of the 109 and 53 Citaros' BCs have been using this option on their buses nowadays in the mid-day and afternoon trips, when previously even after Citaros had came out for 3-4months, none of the BCs (ironically they were the same BCs) I saw used this option.
The point i'm trying to make is that if this blower option is switched on by the BC, the Citaro's aircon is actually quite efficient and cooling for the entire bus even during mid-day, quite a difference from what many of us had complained before (lacklustre A/C performance during the hot mid-day noon sun anyone?)

You are the only one who loves Citaro 100% more than other buses.

That's only one problem solved, dumb. The narrow aisle of the Citaro is a structural flaw for Singapore usage, that you can't change. Besides, not many BCs remember to turn out the blower for Citaros. For KUBs, don't even need to worry about the blower option to cool the bus please.

Not every BC will want to waste energy to turn on the full air-con power.

It's all that SMB228X's fault who claimed he predict Citaro on 133.
Though it might be true as well...Sigh.

Sorry, there's BIG problem. The air-con simply have lag of air~ WORST than normal buses for Singapore Standard.

Is the blower the extremely loud fan? Some Citaros I take have this really loud fan sound and I can feel wind, but the wind isn't cold. On the other hand, the Citaro I took on 43 the night before last was really cold without the blower option.

Uh yes, that loud fan sound is the blower option I was talking about. For some Citaros, yeah even with the blower, I have to admit that their A/C is still pretty CMI. But for some like 6011E 6157T the blower works in the mid-day heat. If you sat before a Citaro during noon/early afternoon with the sun blazing but without blower switched on, you will know the difference in temp I'm talking about.
As for the night time A/C, it is a general fact that the Citaros' A/C work the best in the early morning and night time. But when the sun really comes out, that's it. It's like a sauna if the BC didn't max out the A/C setting. -
6225E on 34 today. Saw it this morning with shiny body.
