Bus accelerate slow, complain. Buy europe bus but body from malaysia complain. Buy new fuel cell but from china also complain. Wa, no wonder we see new ppl everyday.

  Sometimes , I wondered. Why Singaporeans only know how to complain?

  Nice one. -.- U wan Yishun Int to be 'infested' with China buses?

  Oh well, nvm, Beijing Guoan FC is housed at Yishun stadium.. So when they see their own manufacturer here, makes them feel at home 

  Hope the Higer is more comfortable than teh Euro IV KUBs.

  Updates! The bus is already in sg, curtains still intact and also the banners with red Chinese words. It actually looks nice from the side view. Sbst logos not attatched yet too. Nicely tucked away at a refueling point currently. Sorry I don't have photos as I don't have a camera with me.

  Its pretty saddening to know that 1. ppl look down on MIC products and 2. ppl do not get enthusiastic for the YOG.

  Whats worse, is that the higer is also a bus. Bus enthusiast while disliking a bus? Thats pretty ironic issnt it. Its similar to saying that to liking the library but dislike books. Furthermore, Hybrid Fuel Cell technology is something new. Mercedes-Benz only came into the market recently last november with their Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid. This makes sg one of the few cities with buses running on this tech and yet as bus enthusiast some look down on this bus.

  YOG. something the gahman took pride in bidding for, but yet the ppl dont support it. Whats the point then, its like inviting neighbors for cny but give a black face. Might as well dont invite? How will the world look at this.

  Reflections. Water and mirrors.
