Government giving $280 million just to buy new buses, more than enough to buy all 12 liter Citaros and Citaro Gs! :DDD

The Citaros should be really the one polluting the air.

you'll never understand why people like us prefer the B10M over the Citaro or KUB...KUB I'm ok as the design turns out to be the best for peak hr load.
Citaro config be it the exhaust pipe is all based on left hand drive!

All K-series Scanias has its exhaust pipe on the left. SBST requested modifications so that the exhaust pipe is extended to the offside.

If anybody asked me years ago which were my favourite buses, I would have chosen the fast and furious and fanciful.
Now my unequivocal answer is for SD, the B10M series, and DD would be the VO3X.
These buses have aged the most gracefully compared to all the other types.
Anybody who doesnt appreciate these workhorses do not appreciate the reliability these buses conferred to us over so many years.

I can foresee the amount of people complaining if the KUBs' exhaust remained exiting on the left and with 1100 of KUBs, the number of complains would be woah.

If SBST can stiffen the K230UB's suspension, it would be so much more comfortable.

Don't stiffen too much leh, if you stiffen too much you would literally feel every bump and hump on the roads. Take the Mk3s for example. One slight hole in the ground and the entire bus sinks and shudders.

That's right. MK3s and K230UBs were the best.

Though many people complain, I did not complain because I like the E5 K230UBs.

I guess they might only know how to appreciate if they were human in the 1st place.. -

No bro, I'm talking about if the exhaust pipe of the K230s were not rerouted and instead left as initial planed to exit from the left, you would be greeted with a plume of smoke (yes I know they are Euro IV/V compliant, but still.), and then those commuters would start complaining already.

The 'scary' part is those idiots lah. The bus is non-living, how can it be scary?
