(15 Oct 2021, 7:10 pm)Storx Think I must be the only one who isn't bothered. Then again drivers revving the engine on Scania N113DRB's and L113's was actually a blessing. The engine idle shake on them was unbearable especially if you were in the wrong seat (above the wheels or at the back). Some Omnicity's aren't particularly much better.

As a customer, I don't find myself being too phased by a bus having its engine idling either. Usually helps to keep the bus warm.

Yeah, on the StreetDecks (and I believe B5s), when the engine goes off so does the blow air heating, and they cool down quite fast especially with the windows open for ventilation
