  SMRT OC's suspension is poor. Though the aircon is good, it's very jerky and if you take a long distance journey on an OC, you'll feel like vomitting when you alight from the bus.

  
  Scania even more jerky so SMRT should order more Superlions and Citaros~

  Superlions and citaros more jerky than OC. 

  Should buy E500 or Solaris Urbino.

  cuitaros ...

  KUAs or NUAs could add flavour to the bendies

  however, KUA/NUA/KUD/NUDs are only 320 at max. could have better with powerful engines N320UB might only be on par with the A22s which 320 as well

  Especially the Volgren Lances. Very wasted, SMRT should have retired the buses based on the registration dates (so the UMW goes off first, then the DSV, then Volgrens, currently it's the other way round instead).

  The Volgren i think only 10 years old. They were the last to get registered and i remember the last time i rode it before it go to TRG. It was still in good shape unlike the other Lances wich got some flaws in some way

  Actually only 12+ years old. I am not sure about it's condition, because I never got to ride or even see it with my own eyes despite trying so hard. Maybe SMRT should have sold the Volgrens, or if possible re-register to PA-Plate and replace any 2 PA Lance that is in bad condition.

  I had never taken the Volgren Lances so I am not very sure if it can be compared to the UMV and DSV Lances...the UMV and DSV Lances are somewhat like trembling while traveling on the roads like the Scania L113CRLs lately.

  Ya, I know. But what I meant is that since they want retire early at least retire older buses first. Like how they started getting rid of the UMWs, but don't know why suddenly retire the DSV and the Volgren, in the end the UMW outlived them even though they were older by about 2 years and in worser condition IMO.

  Please remember to take some pictures and share ok?

  Otherwise NPNT.

  Tip: Bribe the guard with lunch before you do it, scale the wall and disable the security camera with rubber band.

  You will be safe then.
