Citaros, particularly at stanley are having a nightmare closing their doors now. Most of the b7 presidents lack power etc. It's not going to be long until there's quite a lot of practically dead buses.
The Omnicitys have rattled a lot from new, It's just the build quality of them, Absolutely Sh*te.
Again, happened since new. Though has improved a bit since most had there Door Open Brake disabled, Meaning the driver doesn't have to wait until the door has reset and closed in this instance and can pretty much drive off while closing like in a conventional bus.
Also to note is the Presidents lack 40 more horses compared to the B7 Geminis.
Early B7s were fitted with a 210hp Engine while later examples 2001 and after were fitted with 250hp engines.
Also the Presidents don't have kickdown enabled gearboxes, While the Geminis do.
A underpowered bus with no kickdown compared to a heavier powered bus with kickdown will surely make a a difference between them.
