  the buses(whether euro iv, citaro) bunch up due to traffic along paterson, orchard area
  evenings i mean after 1930hrs

  Basically it means that the non-Batch 1 KUBs are kicked out from TRG while the Batch 1 KUBs went into TRG. It doesn't take alot to figure out why the Batch 1s are so unwanted. Haha.

  yup correct agreed with u too !  Hope this citaros training buses (6102 6103 6105 6108 6256 )also can go back on svcs( infact this buses were not on any revenue svc @ all) and exchange the older citaros buses for training !

  Nope, some of them did go on revenue service before like 6103Z.

  Others like 6256R has been perm TRG ever since it was registered.

  I think SBST should withdraw all the KUB from TRG and throw citaro into trg instead.

  Simply put, the Batch 1 KUBs have worse insulation against the engine vibration and road noise compared to the later batches of KUBs. If you do happen to sit both types one after another, the difference is quite stark. But the Batch 1s do have better acceleration out of standstill though.

  Err. You do know that SBST uses both KUBs & Citaros for Training because not all BCs are going to drive Citaros right? If you only have Citaros on TRG, then what in the world are you going to train those BCs that are going to svcs that only uses KUBs? The overhangs are different, and the trip comp and dials are different as well. Uh yes, the door buttons are diff too.

  That is the reason why despite the dwindling number of Mk4 perms left, SBST still keeps a handful of Mk4s in TRG as well. They are there for a reason. Try to process what you're going to post first before you post.

  Err. You do know that reasoning with some people will just be waste of time right.

  After all its a known fact that when you try to correct them, usually what happens would be:

  1. No response, and the mistake gets repeated (You got ignored!)

  2. You dio suan. (Awww....that's too bad)

  3. The antagonist dodges (They think we play hamtam-bolah and they can play and win every shot)
