I don't think many would say the 300NGs are of a poor ride quality. I was really impressed with them myself. I do think it'll be interesting 5 years down the line, as the Mercedes quality really stands out here. The first GNE batch of Citaros (5275 for example) are still as good as they were on day 1 in service. Of course that proven track record isn't there with the 300NGs yet.
I found an interesting presentation based on Coca Cola using Biomethane vs Diesel as a trial. It was the best comparison I could find on fuel costings too. Here if anyone wants a look.
To this day, the Citaro is one of my favorite buses, i also agree with them being as good as they were when they first got them.
Of course how long can the Gas buses last?
Will Stagecoach make that risk and make Sunderland depot 100% Gas bus?
