james_davis_nicollThe new bus only 4000 km on it. Driver seemed put off by my curiosity in it. Lots of small design changes:
More stop buttons on upright posts.
Wheelchair ramp moves more smoothly and I think the bus kneels deeper. Arrangement of double seats and singletons swapped left for right. Back door requires light touch instead of hand waving. Rooftop hatch looks bigger. Engine ... sounded wrong, like it was labouring. Didn't seem to be a hybrid, though, or if it was it's not as jerky as the older ones.
