I hate the new electric busses from China. Their acceleration is much better and braking effect is also stronger.
Bus drivers in Norway are binary people. They either press the accelerator or they press the brake. Most drivers call it leg day, because you spend the entire day pushing on these peddles as hard as you can.
Our existing buses have terrible acceleration, which helps a lot with the comfort of the bus ride. But for some unknown reason someone decided that the bendy busses should have the only wheels with power, in the rear of the bus, after the bend. So any slight hill that is slippery from a bit of snow or frost, now becomes a a comedic video of buses trying to drive up before they flop in the middle of the bend and slide back down again.
