Well; that much is obvious! Hopefully they can fix the problem soon. While the Diesel buses are more comfortable; their air conditioning SUCKS and they are not wheelchair-accessible. (Not that I have to use a wheelchair, but I would feel sorry for the people that do if the gas buses are taken off the road.)yorky wrote:...if there is a fire its not like you want to be standing next to a dozen gas cylinders...
Remember a good number of the latest silver buses are also diesel. Including all the Volvos as far as I'm aware.doggie015 wrote:yorky wrote: While the Diesel buses are more comfortable; their air conditioning SUCKS and they are not wheelchair-accessible.
Well that's good! Those latest ones have the legroom and comfortable seats of the old Diesel with the accessibility of the gas ones and better air conditioning (Being rather tall I frequently have my knees against the seat in front of me on the gas buses. Legroom is quite important and the designers of the older gas buses seem to have forgotten that!)1357 wrote:Remember a good number of the latest silver buses are also diesel.

While the newer ones don't have the same amount as the old diesels they do have more legroom than the gas buses (I can actually sit down without my knees hitting the seat in front of me!)6stbase wrote:Volvo's and legroom? You must be joking?
Sometimes the OC's have sufficiant legroom but a few of them have a configuration that just kills any legroom you could have. If I see an OC with no gap between the sides of the seats I basically have to go to the priority seats because I cannot fit in the regular ones! I have yet to see a B7RLE with so little legroom6stbase wrote:That's rather interesting, as I find the OC's have a lot more room than the B7RLE's, but then again, that could just be my imagination
