  Try TIB604R.

  Took it today on 184, acceleration noise is quieter like the OCsand is smooth, brake is smoother than the OCs, suspensions were far more better than most of the SMRT Mercs O405.

  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

  
  I notice many BCs anticipate the Lance's turbo at 3rd gear and lift their foot off the pedal when that is about to occur.

  And ya....its quite scary when the turbo kicks in.

  At least that's for the 245 version.

  Definately Citaro for me, but only with a BC whos experienced enough to do a smooth braking.

  Smoothest ride in a SMRT bus? My vote goes to the OC500. Haven't taken the Citaro yet, hopefully that'll be better than the OC500. However, in terms of comfort, my vote goes to the refurbed rigid 0405s. I prefer its suspension over the OCs.

  hands down all O405s, O405G MK IIs, Citaro.

  others dun get my vote as
  Lances have poor pickup and bad brakes but their top speed isnt regulated.
  Nissan no need to say.
  Scanias have very bad comfort levels and are rather noisy.
  Hino noisy and slow.
  DAFs dun like the interior as a whole. comfort is also an issue.
  OC500LE gemilang is not what i would go for.
