Thanks for the reply. I've been seeing that the Electroliner is making waves across the UK, especially London. I really do hope that NX order big for this bus, it also seems to be good from a passenger perspective.

If so, what is your favourite electric bus so far?
Quote from: Stu on April 16, 2024, 07:43:51 PMI did a 'lap' of the 8C one Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago now - yes, I was bored and wanted something different to do!In the rush hours it gets very busy, especially because it goes past so many schools and is a convenient link to many bus routes. It gets into traffic in basically almost every suburb that it passes through, so it ends up regularly getting late and often bunches together.
In my opinion, under 'normal circumstances', the route copes quite well with single decks at its current frequency levels (every 12-15mins).
The problems with overcrowding come when the buses get delayed and start running late, but then the same can be said for any other bus service that uses single decks.
Quote from: spacecowboy150 on April 12, 2024, 05:52:32 PMTarget the cars not the buses, theyre the ones doing the most damage to the environment and releasing the most fumesThere's nothing wrong with electrifying buses, the amount of emissions produced by an 8.3L ALX400 engine being used over 20 years must be very high. However, the best way to target cars is human-centric urban planning and excellent public transport infrastructure. Although this concept will be demonised by the same conspiracy theorists that fabricate lies about electric buses exploding every other day.
Quote from: markcf83 on April 12, 2024, 02:35:00 PMDon't get me started on this fake news. There is no climate crisis in the UK.Believe what you want to believe, but it's not just the climate crisis as to why companies are pushing for zero emission. People would much rather not be inhaling the fumes of combustion engines, so it's good if these emissions can be cut as much as possible.
