Please larh... can you please don't completely disregard a
certain model just because another one is superior to it.
Yes, KUBs are bad, but does that mean it's totally useless? It
might have only 230hp, lots of vibration, loud engines and
radiators, back door problems for the Euro 5 KUBs, not enough
seats... blah blah blah...
Truth is, I dislike KUBs, but not to the core that I disregard
its advantages over the cuitaros. I do recognize how these buses
can play a part in helping the Citaro with its disadvantages. KUBs
might have a really bad chassis but you gotta admit that it has
more standing space and overall capacity than the cuitaros. Plus
the citaro's aircon sucks to the max, KUBs have better
air-conditioning. These buses also have better acceleration than
the Citaros(not top speed), although SBST down tuned the bus until
it roars at 60km/h.
But Citaros also do have good points indeed, eg. Higher top
speed than KUBs(big help in expressways), less vibration, higher
torque output(282/286PS vs 230hp), quieter engines, less violent
doors, more seats although the aisle is a huge problem.
