To me, buses combine the best technology that can be offered with
ergonomics.
Simply because operators are more ready to absorb extra costs,
and certain features are too heavy for cars. For example, all the
public buses are auto geared. But the fully auto gearbox is totally
different from those you get on cars. It's more like a auto manual
gearbox. And that extra feature is a reason why the gearbox weighs
around 0.5 tonnes.
Bus' auto gearbox is something I am more interested in. The
rest...frankly speaking, are not.
And...I simply hate it every time girls tell me: I WANT YOUR
WEIGHT! AHHH!!!!!!!
I certainly don't want my weight!
Uhh..... dude.... honestly, I don't even want to know about the
auto gearbox in a car, much less a bus.
To me, a public bus is a means of getting from point A to point
B (and subsequently to point C) without having to sit in the
driver's seat myself.
The only things I care about buses are:
a) What service to take to get from A to B
b) How much I have to pay
c) How long the journey is.
Oh well. Some things I can never understand.
