      What do u guys think of china-made buses? Are they as good as european made buses like volvo and scania? There is this Yutong bus rego PA7672U which has been coming to my camp quite often, but i never had a chance to board it

      Other than Yutong, are there any other china brand buses in singapore?

      In Malaysia, we’ve got these as citybuses:
      King Long
      An Yuan
      Dong Feng
      Higer

      But in Singapore, King Long is the more popular and reliable brand… esp when mated with 5HP500 (which is no longer in production)... whoa.

      Majority are from King Long.

      There's also as many as 4 units of Jinhua Youngman Neoplan buses awaiting registration. To be operated by Five Stars Tours as Executive Class coaches.

      Of course not  - China buses's designs are all ripped off from original ones like European makers and also they use inferior materials..which means its a "mass coffins mover"icon_lol.gif

       

      Same case for china cars like Chery icon_lol.gif

      Don't be surprised at the quality of the ride, the Yutong I took in HK has an air suspension which made the journey a smooth one.

      the yutongs in singapore have air suspension too. when PA7670A was moving out of my school (refer to the picture in bus pics thread), when the bus reached the bottom of the slope, it adjusted itself like vso's, b9tl's and kubs. (notice i left out DM3500 cos most of them cant adjust or adjust to extreme measures..)

      I've tried a Yutong, the engine is rather torquey and the ride was smooth. I would say it is more comfortable than many of the pte-hired Jap buses.
