The Volvos are being phased out though and are really only used on the country routes and as backups, most are these POS Dennises which allegedly rust in front of your eyes on rainy days

New Flyer must have hired some engineers from kindergarten to design the Excelsior. See that fairing on the roof at the front on both sides? It is only to hide the A/C system because they are too cheap to use a slimline unit. In fact the entire coach is poorly designed ...

>>17185342
I used to ride it all the time before I had a car. I had to again recently when my car was in the shop. It's not too comfy for me though. I'm a big guy (4u) and if I have to sit in a seat that has a seat in front of it my legs are too long and I have to sit weird else it hurts my knees. The newest buses they have allow adequate leg room and the oldest ones have big leather bench seats but there's only like one of those now cuz they want all the buses to have wheel chair ramps
>>
>>17184871
man, I haven't seen one of these in years. kinda nostalgic.
>>
>>17185804
Why would you pay extra for a less powerful slimline AC when the roads have clearance for a regular unit on the roof?
>>
This is my local bus, but I've never ridden it. [imaginary spoiler]I have ridden the train twice though[/imaginary spoiler]
