I used to drive at 75-80kmh on those older buses like the O405/G,Lance

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

They all sound beautiful. Music to my ears🤗

[@Onnikka78]

Scania Lahti Scala L94UB is much way better

[@36_snaps]

@@Onnikka78 yes

[@kancheongspidergaming]

I came here because there are only 2 Olympians here now. RIP Olympians. You made my childhood riding awesome (compared to the worse-than-Enviro500 B9TL)

[@Muhaimin47busfan]

I love ZF kick down Ecomat

[@theinterportal]

Muhaimin 2017 Buses Who doesn't love them!

[@AtinzMizuki]

TIB1129P is fucking smooth.

[@qwackerr]

too fucking smooth help

[@2justin240]

Smoothest of all.
For me ;)

[@eldoorass]

TIB1133B starting part like very weird but then later the ZF SUPER Loud

[@lukeyboi2302]

OMG those are HEAVENLY!

[@theinterportal]

ALX400 Bus Train and Aviation indeed they are :) glad you enjoyed the recordings

[@lukeyboi2302]

Definitely makes me jealous of Singapores buses! Can't wait to visit again haha

[@theinterportal]

I’ve got some bad news for you though, if you come here now, all you’re gonna get are B9TL Wright Geminis, MAN Lions City, ADL Enviro500s and Citaros 😂
Almost all of the buses featured in this video have already been scrapped, with the exception of the O405G Hispano Habits.

[@lukeyboi2302]

Big shame, they were all still there last time I was over. Citaros are pretty decent tho

[@glitchFan2428]

@@theinterportal and now, all the ZF habits are gone

[@TIB3106U]

omg soooooo nice sia, wah i can sleep already

[@theinterportal]

TIB3106U Maybe I should upload my 25min 832Z recording, or a 12min TIB598A recording. Or heck maybe 709Y full trip on 985. Just maybe haha.

[@glitchFan2428]

The Interportal just do it la

[@glitchFan2428]

y u no do

[@coolsongs156]

@@theinterportal DO IT!

[@hickaviation4279]

The super loud noise you hear on the Volgren O405 at the end isn’t the ZF gearbox, it’s the reduction hubs… the third gear howl is certainly nice but that ridiculous piercing noise when the accelerator is let off is reduction hubs. Absolutely epic set of hubs nonetheless

[@SMB5007J]

Nice 1115D kickdown

[@theinterportal]

SMB5007J Yea 1115D sounds amazing!

[@SMB5007J]

The Interportal can try 988H also.. 986M got the loud hub reduction axle but gearslip zz

[@kurttaysiao371]

SMB5007J yeah ikr i rode it on 302 back in 2015 sound like ferrari xd

[@theinterportal]

SMB5007J I know about 988H. I do have a recording but I must dig for it. 986M is impossible to record, clips all my mics and recorders.

[@user-kn1er8oc3c]

Tib1133b Rev king

[@2justin240]

TIB964B Very rare green coloured interior :D

[@2justin240]

Btw my most favourite is TIB1129P as I always take that bus home :D

[@SBS9398U-VO3X]

wah

[@leylandlynxvlog]

Great sound too, and I love the interior :D

[@Roblox-gameur]

Engine this bus is it equipped with a Detroit Diesel MBE OM471 hla combo ZF ECOMATE 6HP-602C

[@LVideo1000]

Great video! :D

[@kevinbenedict9612]

Hispano habit are the best zf ecomats ever

[@knymao]

1:53 I got tib1000b license plate

[@josh88970]

how about OC500LE? they use to have loud ZF engine sounds but now they became much quieter?

[@theinterportal]

You can try SMB74Y, SMB94P and SMB104U. They are still pretty loud. SMB34M is quite good too.

[@josh88970]

@@theinterportal Oh I see. I know 104u I can try on 190 but what about the rest?

[@amranbus]

0:04 to 0:35 can you send me the link for the audio? I would really want to listen to the whole ZF Ecomat

[@theinterportal]

I will have to look for it in my archives.

[@amranbus]

Alright then

[@SBS9398U-VO3X]

woah how you record one
especially the vo3x as their zf is quite soft
also 2:38 got typo should be SBS9648Z not SBS9648U

[@theinterportal]

SBS2672Z Mic + open ZF hatch = sexual ZF heaven

[@SBS9398U-VO3X]

[@Symbianlover123]

SBS9648U WERY WEIRD

[@36_snaps]

Yah

[@kurttaysiao371]

1129p sounds rlly weird

[@theinterportal]

SBS 3920B One the best sounding O405Gs in my opinion.

[@kurttaysiao371]

The Interportal one of the best sounding 0405gs on kickdown in my opinion is tib1132d. all the cat howls and very loud zf. wow. but after refurbishment, cannot hear 2nd to 3rd gear change already. rip.

[@qwackerr]

ur weird

[@kurttaysiao371]

BrandonWeiss ur not even a singaporean, are you?

[@AtinzMizuki]

TIB1115D is weirder.

[@kurttaysiao371]

eh why 1105h on 190???

[@theinterportal]

SBS 3920B Pullover from 960 in December 2015.

[@kurttaysiao371]

The Interportal counted as rare cameo??

[@theinterportal]

SBS 3920B Yep, it was a cross depot cameo. Woodlands Depot bus on Kranji Depot service.
