IMO. I still prefer the KUBs much more than Citaros.
For KUBS, the front space is very spacious and seem to be able
to squeeze in many passengers. Also, I find the walkway aisle of
the KUB rear a little more spacious than Citaros. And I love the
high ceilings of the KUBs and it looks elegant. I don't bother of
the steps along the walkway leading to the rear of the KUBs; as I
still prefer in this manner than the Citaros where I got to climb
up the steps from the walkway onto the seat instead.
When I'm seating on the outer seat that is opposite the
back-facing seats, I got a little worried when the bus is moving,
because there is no poles or seat handles in front of me to hold on
to. Also, as there is a step between the outer seats and walking
aisle, I also got a little worried when the bus is turning, as I
can't place my legs a little more onto the walkway to better
balance myself; unlike the KUBs.
But I dislike the KUBs jerking during acceleration and braking.
However, some KUBs have probably been fine-tuned; and combined
with good KUB bus captains' driving skills, have made travelling on
KUBs much more pleasant. So I hope SBST and Scania can work further
together to improve the KUBs and better train the BCs to make our
journeys more pleasant.
i know the exact reason why the kub jerks when it's about to
move on.
