I did type training 4 months ago on one of them, and yesterday was my first time driving it alone on the 20, was scary at first cause I'm used to looking through the mirrors but quickly adapted and it was a good experience

We drive electric buses and the batteries are on the roof with the Optare Solo and Versa. There is also the Higer Steed EV with batteries on the roof. The front seats at the top having two rows were also on older Scania Omnidekkas, so not just related to a longer wheelbase. The Mercedes Citaro G 530 Bendy buses have a single seat behind them with a glass window to be seen by passengers. Plus also reveals the stair case has been pushed back more centrally and so the seats have been taken from behind and move up front.

I think the cameras replacing the mirrors are an excellent idea, hope they last for longer and are more durable than a standard mirror lol! Cracking video as always Anton!
