Hmmm... I remember being stuck behind a 609x Citaro on 83 some days back. I slowed down to let the bus come out of the bus bay. Ended up stuck at snail's pace behind him. The bus seemed to have difficulty climbing the slope to the fly-over over the TPE. Funny thing is I was driving a 17-year-old Mitsubishi L300 that has difficulty climbing steep slopes too. But the bus lagi jialat... I was having difficulty controlling my speed. It wasn't 6090B but definitely a 609x Citaro. Might have been 6092X but can't quite remember. If so, that would suck because 6092X is one of the few Citaros I've ridden that I actually liked.
SBS3722G and SBS3752U loud radiator macam like CDGE. Huuu...

Off topic : Mitsubishi L300 van model is not very good in steep slopes, and underpowered especially when they're older.

In New York City, the MTA is rolling out the Nova LFS (semi-low floor) in all 5 boroughs at a fast rate. Also, the Orion V's and Nova RTS are being phased out because of the Xcelsior XD40, altough I still see a few of them in service (I saw some Orion V's operating on the M100 a few days ago).

190 also allows passengers to board at the exit doors during morning peak hours since around last September. Could be to prevent int jam

That's the DDU. The newer SBS Transit buses don't have it installed.
SMB165T (off service) made an illegal u-turn at YCK rd/lentor dr/amk ave 4 junction this morning at 7am....
