I've yet to go on a double decker, being from Hong Kong it's just the norm but I want to see what it's like here.

Could care less about the maneuverability.
And 1000% on the sea-saw effect, while a New Flyer bus glides over speed bumps, Nova buses are the complete opposites.
The double deckers aren't too bad if it's cruising on the highway, once it gets into town doing local stops, it's border line hell depending on where you sit. All of the Decker's are equipped with the ZF transmission which means it's going to jerk, slip and bang into gears.
From what I've heard, when we had the double decker demonstrator, it was equipped with the Allison transmission and it was day and night in terms of drivability.
