By the way they are extremely popular in the Philippines if you arrive in Manila and go north to something like Baguio the City of pines you will actually get a Yutong or Scania bus that was actually made in China and then assembled in the Philippines. Two operators that run north from NAIA to Baugio Genesis and Solid North. The first one you need to be careful because there are trips from the airport Pasay✈️ to Mariveles in Bataan the ones going to Baguio might stop in San Fernando for Bataan Trips they operate
Looks nice; VDL should design a double-deck model and try to sell it to Arriva in the UK and/or the BVG in Berlin. This looks far better than the newer AD Enviro MMC/EV models and the newer Wrightbus StreetDeck models we get over here in England.
They did build a double decker prototype for BVG in Berlin, although with a diesel engine. It was in service from 2015 to 2020 where it had an engine failure and was taken out of service.
@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials According to a website the failure was too expensive to repair because the parts was specially made for this one bus. It should still exist, but without plates.
As a passenger on regular service with the VDL NGC LE, I must say I am really pleased but indeed the axle is a bit loud. I can handle it but I get it can be annoying.
Very smart looking vehicle. Great plus for the dashboard ❤ as a driver difficoulties with reaching good position this is must try out. In Finland at Kotka region are having these smaller 12 meter versions in local services. I enjoyed previous Citeas LLE in Tampere local services when I was professional driver but most colleagues prefer Volvos, Scanias and Solarises... I am still intrested to see if VDL can deliver approx 15 meter long 6x2 bogie verision with 1+2+1 door layout 😊 If chance comes of course test drive The new one
@@bussmagasinet1Well...public buses and coaches are capped at 60km/h. Though it's the country's decision stemming from decades of public transport havving no seat belts on the public buses. Some coaches do have it, not all, only
the VDL and Van Hool buses have a DAF steering wheel, the new Caf coastal tram there also squeaks and creaks because public transport bought the line the cheapest, a tram without USB ports
I ❤ed this bus very much. In some aspects it's better than my favorite MAN Lions intercity line-up. Waiting for the review of my low entry favorite - MAN Lions intercity LE 14.
That’s a really nice bus! Did you know that a Swedish town near Linköping called Motala are getting new Citybuses (Mercedes-Benz eCitaro) and new region buses called YES-EU, they are 15 meters long and should be in traffic. Have you done a rewiew of that bus?
Nice bus! We also have that bus in Belgium. This bus is operated by the Flemish operater De Lijn, which means "The Line". The serie is from 2901 to 2924. Greetings from Sri Lankan boy in Belgium.
Very True and 14 of those beautiful electric VDL's will come to Sint-niklaas due the 2 tunnels (aka bridges) are too low for high buses to go under so hopefully the new Citea's will do the job! 🚍🚍🚍
I recommend visiting Estonia. In Estonia we have quite a wide variety of busses, City buses are MAN A40 and A78. Also Solaris Urbino 12/18 CNG, Solaris Urbino 12 Electric (15 of those), and Volvo 9700 Hybrid. And for county buses, we have Iveco Crossways, some are with city bus specs, for example, VOITH Diwa gearbox and city bus interior. Then we also have MAN Lion's City, and Intercity versions. These buses are in Tallinn.
13 degrees is totally unacceptable... MAN just is to late with there electric buses. Just look at Solaris oder Ebusco, they can reach longer distances without 13 degrees... Such a shame...
Why does #India does not have this type of underground cables #Mumbai #Gujarat#South #East #Modiji please build such infrastructure underground cables, also under sea cables #Modi hai tau mumkin hai ❤️🇮🇳
@@bussmagasinet1 That is very cool, but it doesn't answer my question. Am i supposed to wait until your summer break is over, whenever that might be, to get that answer? 🤔
Though for some, being able to hear the soft engine & gearbox sounds while cruising, sitting at the back could be very theurapatic or sleep inducing on a long journey.
I agree with you however for James he would have a problem is the transmission because here in North America they are fitted with torque converter not an automated manual transmission which is what they have in Norway in Europe
Great video! Really like your channel. One thing that isn't right is your comment re: Independent Front Suspension and Double Decker vehicles. The Leyland Lowloader and Atlantean prototypes used a Torsion Bar based IFS system in the mid 'fifties. The famous AEC Routemaster London Bus used Coil Spring IFS from the prototypes of 1954 through to end of production in 1968. The RM drives really nicely. If you get a chance, that would be a great video for you guys! 😎
