So I tried a Q3 for the first time the other day and...
Pros
- I like how you can shut the vents above you
- Wireless Charging Ports are bigger enough for my 6.7 inch phone, compared to any other ones & enviro ones would be lucky to fit a iPhone 5 into
- They've got power
Cons
- Seats were very hard
- Seats were quite high
- NSA Screens for wheelchairs blocks the entire view
- NSA are really loud, they were only on for like 15 mins and I already had a headache
- Seats facing backwards are quite awkward, should have been flipped
- Poor Level of Openable Windows
I really hope GNE don't buy any more yutongs.

(31 Jan 2023, 9:07 pm)Dan GNE seem to be quite happy with their Yutongs, and with an increased focus on fleet standardisation, they would probably need considerable reason to make the switch to another manufacturer.They do seem quite reliable you're right. Maybe just not the greatest for passengers, the seats are like sitting on bricks.

If they're purchased for the 21, does the same rules apply as other funding where they have to stay on the route they were purchased for, or be replaced with an equivalent or better vehicle?
Wonder if the buses for the 21 will be the new Yutong Electric double decker that is in the pipeline.

Wouldn't criticize seats as they offer good form for damaged spines. charge pockets can take a S22 Ultra, most cant.

(04 Feb 2023, 9:58 pm)nova347 With the Yutongs why is one side of the doors have stripes on it also with the 53/54 ones when I got off on one the other day I almost walked straight into the mirror. It's like almost halfway over the door closest to the windscreen.
