@@nukenofficial. 5 years is still a lot for a bus. And besides, I wouldnt be surprised if they could sell them to a rural operator somewhere if they wanted to. I know in Denmark its becoming more common for municipalities to run some routes on their own and free to ride rather than as part of larger transit agencies. And for that older second hand buses are often used, we get a lot from Norway in particular but also Finland. Even on routes for the bigger transit agencies, I know there's a route in Copenhagen thats run almost entirely with VDL Citea's bought as hand me downs from Helsinki.

This was unexpected but made me so happy! Thanks for making a video of the Scala! 😃

@@bussmagasinet1 Two bus museums have a Scala museum in Finland. The first generation Scala at the Lavia Bus Museum. Urban transport historical society second generation Scala. This third generation Scala in the video is nowhere to be found yet. If I had a few tens of thousands of euros, I would buy 2 of these. In this third batch, there is the last ( #1341 ) Scala ever completed, and the well-known L33T ( #1337 ) from the internet is in this series.

7:30 strictly speaking, most of the warm and kind sound of the scania you are hearing doesnt come from the engine, but from the transmission. that said, I also very much enjoy both old and new ZF transmission whine.

I've been driving a SCALA one time, I really don't like the design choice of the front - it looks a bit goofy and like something you'll find in a Childrens story book, but well like you say it's about taste when it comes to the likings of the design. We only had two of those at my Depot and they where borrowed, sadly I only got one chance to drive it which was kinda sad due to cause I really liked to drive it to be honest. I did love the "Tourist-box" as I called it since it has one of those Transmissions that pauses between the gears while shifting - it made me get vibes from an old job I had when I drove some Long-haul transfer coaches and it kinda got me starting to think about changing job, which I did later. I did also like the more "Visor" look of the Windscreen so there was like a upper front wall above the Windscreen with buttons on as well felt like an Airplane cockpit if you get my feeling about it.

Not far from the truth. Scala was actually designed by students. What age I don’t know, but it’s a cool fun fact. They wanted the bus to smoke to you when it arrived 😁 I like those “slow” transmissions. Gives a higher comfort. But, I can see that it also gives the stress sometimes in city traffic 😂😂

@@Ranjitzu i understand :) We have a pair of Scania CK320UB with Scania OptiCruise gearboxes on two hauliers and one of them is unhappy with the failure of them (Ramzes), the other haulier (Nord Express) has succeeded with the purchase of these Scania OmniLink. I am not fond of them, preferring the smooth shifting of the ZF gearboxes. We have one Scania OmniLink CK320UB #1530 from Nord Express and it has a ZF gearbox, which is a big change to the others with OptiCruise :)
