Umm, that's easily addressed and doesn't exactly preclude the bus from consideration on it's own.Megumi wrote:One more thing should be mentioned: the demonstrator Citaro was equipped with a Voith 4-speed gearbox which is not good at high-speed services as it makes the engine sounds noisy, such as any routes via the southern busway like 111, 150, 140, 130, etc. Most services via the busway are utilising ZF gearbox except some CNG buses (MAN CNG bendy), but it doesn't matter because the CNG engine is fine in high engine speed and even they need high engine speed for better torque.Swift wrote:So now that we know that any regular length bus put on a 14.5m route is likely to fill up too quickly, is there any other reason on offer why drivers would hate it?
Sounds like someone is trying to discredit the bus for being fully shipped here and not produced by a beloved local body builder.
Imports rule!!
