Yes.But i dun mind they chose B9L instead

another full low-floor bus would be good...

sadly B10M jerks...
due to the gearbox trying to go into NBS before the bus stops, but something kicks it out of NBS always.
SBST should just let it go into NBS so the bus doesn't lurch forward everytime the gearbox decides to cancel the NBS.

SG needs more Volvos

That's not the NBS....that's the first gear engaging. By default, the ZF tends to keep as much as possible to gear 2 just before giving up when the bus comes to a stop. Of course I have no ways of confirming this, so if its wrong, please correct me.
Its not that noticeable on the VOs....but slightly more obvious on the LOs. And the most obvious is the MKIVs.
And a little more OT...I didn't realise the 4 speed Voith on the B9s actually engage clutch on the first gear when braking to make use of engine braking...the typical Voiths we have only engages up to gear 2 before letting go completely. But picking-up is still the same with clutch engaging as gear 2 engages.

the Voith B9s still engage on gear 2 when braking, not as u said first gear.
If you listen carefully, all 4 gears engage when braking

partly you're right, yes. this is because the lock-up is at gear two, so moving off from gear 2 is quite easy in the B10M's.
but there's also the NBS problem. i once took a ride on SBS962A, and at every stop the driver braked intentionally slowly, and true enough, managed to get the NBS to kick up for about three seconds before the gearbox put itself back into first gear with a horrible jerk
prolly coz e gearbox is old n not as reponsive as b4.

Volvo more like SBST favourite.

And another very obvious one is the Dennis Lance...

some VOs has loud aircon fan sound, which covered the transmission of the engines..

Is it the empty berth beside 857?
Cheers.

No. It is the 857 berths. Not the ones beside it
