Been on the Volvo 8900 mostly for intercity hauls. First thing, the driver's spot is real ergonomic and you don't feel cramped even after a long shift. I dig the adjustable steering and seat heating, comes in handy during cold mornings. Engine's punchy enough and smooth, rarely feel like I’m lacking power. Haven’t faced any big issues with reliability yet, but the climate system isn't super intuitive and takes a bit to get the hang of all the controls. Could use a bit more storage space for drivers, honestly. Doors open smooth with the electric system. Not the cheapest, but you get a lot for what you pay.

Drove the new Citaro for my city route this week. The improved fuel efficiency is noticeable, which is a big plus given the current operational costs. However, I felt the driver's cabin, while ergonomic, could use slightly better seat cushioning for long shifts.

Driving the Citaro has been quite an experience. The driver’s seat is adjustable and genuinely provides good support during long hours. The automatic four-speed gearbox is responsive yet could use a bit more efficiency at higher speeds. The door operation is smooth and noise-free, offering a quieter ride for passengers. Still, the overall lighting inside relies on conventional daylight bulbs, which might need modernization. Moving on, I find the onboard passenger information system easy to operate and reliable.

I've driven many buses, and the Volvo 8900 Electric stands out mainly for its advanced design and electric capabilities. I had the chance to try its shorter 12.3-meter version. First off, the seating layout with 43 seats is comfortable for passengers, though I felt the overall assembly weight at 20.6 tons slightly noticeable during maneuvering. The electric motor provides smooth performance, but I wish the charging port placement options were more universal. Overall, it has potential.

Just had a stint driving the Volvo 8900, and overall it's a decent setup. The low floor in city variants is convenient for quick passenger boarding, but I found the moderate height in the intercity version a bit cumbersome in certain schedule-tight scenarios. The diesel engine does its job, but it could offer a touch more power when fully loaded. Comfortable seating makes longer routes more pleasant for passengers.

I've been driving the Solaris Urbino around Riga for a few weeks and can say it's a pretty solid ride, especially for an electric bus. The smooth acceleration really stands out-no gear shifts, so it's much easier on the nerves, doesn't jerk around like the old diesel ones. The new driver's panel is easy to read, but honestly, there’s a lot of info on there, and getting used to the new menus takes some time. The doors feel louder than I expected, especially at stops during rush hour, but the big windows and mirrors help with visibility. I wish the heating didn't rely on diesel, though, it feels a bit weird for an electric bus. Battery is fine for city routes, just don’t expect long trips without a charge.

The Volvo 8900 Electric presents a commendable direction towards sustainable mass transit. The design appears modern, although some elements, like the retention of traditional side mirrors, seem less innovative. The interior comfort is notable, especially on longer commutes. A downside is the mentioned low-hanging pole, which can pose minor inconveniences. Overall, it’s a promising model.

Alright, here’s my take after a couple of shifts on the Urbino 12: The accessibility is way better than on older buses. Wheelchair spot is actually usable, and the ramp works fast, never had a problem getting folks on and off. Passengers like that the ride is mostly quiet, just those door closing sounds get annoying over time. I wish there was a separation between the cab and the passengers, since there’s not much privacy, but I guess that’s how these are built. It does what it needs to do, just keep an eye on battery if you’re stuck in traffic a lot, since range drops quicker than you’d think.

I've been driving the Volvo 8900 for over a year now on both city and some intercity routes. The visibility out the giant windshield is something I appreciate every trip, especially in tight urban traffic. The seats are pretty comfy, and my passengers rarely complain, so that's a plus. The gear shifts are always smooth thanks to the auto box, even if sometimes it takes its sweet time. Build quality inside feels solid but after a while there are little rattles in the cabin, not a huge deal but slightly annoying. Maintenance hasn’t been a big hassle yet, but you do need to keep an eye on the electronics and sensors. Not crazy about the rear design, but that’s just looks. Overall, I like driving it, just wish the electronics were a little sturdier.

I had the opportunity to test drive the Solaris Urbino 12 Hydrogen, and I must say, it performs quite well in terms of its innovative approach to public transport. The hydrogen fuel cell system gives it a significant advantage in range compared to traditional electric buses, which is a major plus for longer routes. One thing to note, though, is that the integration of hydrogen technology still incurs certain complexities, but overall, it feels reliable and well-integrated. The regenerative braking system helps a lot, easing the operation during trips. A great approach to greener city transit.
