  Hey guys! share the rides that you had enjoyed of smrt buses! For me, i think DAF SB220 is the best especially TIB700X. I love the engine sound and the rides were smooth. Do anyone agrees that when you are standing in a rigid 0405, it is hard to balance especially when the gear changes?

  Dennis Lance UMW. It was the smoothest and fastest during when it was deployed in on 103.

  Cheers.

  For me all the SMRT/Tibs buses that are air-suspension (like 0405s and bendies) are quite smooth. Air-bellow like Scanias and DAFs are quite bumpy at times, Nissan UDs which are leaf-spring are the worst.

  take bendy bus should sit frontmost. very quiet and smooth you dont even hear the engine coz' it's behind.
  
  but sit infront means must give up seat readily once a frail elderly boards.

  700X has no speed limiter, thats what i think. Sped at least 70km/h on Old LCK Rd. Lol.

  Anyway i think sbst's dm3500's the best.

  During training i've drive Hino Volgren(955C iirc),Scania WA,Dennis Lance UK,MBO405s and even MBO405 Volgren(960L).

   

  Most comfy and reliable who else MBO405 OAC/CAC Volgren one vibrate a bit.

  Most challenging Dennis Lance especially with no restriction on the acceleration.

  Most stylo bendy should goes to the Habit
