- Are powerful and well powered
- Built like a tank a bullet proof
- Go like a stink
- And don't breakdown all the time
FUEL COSTS. No addition money for bus operators, biggest outlay for bus companys, so anything they can do to reduce the cost they will always choose. so bus manufacturers arent going to build something nobody will buy. Arriva at Jesond have are busy installed fuel saving programme to the pulsars, meaning they are now limited to 50mph.
