[Auckland] Go West [2]
My favourite bus model in NZ is this Scania (don't know exact name).It was like ASB and ASC (KMB) (I mean the engine sound).
Powerful, extremely quiet bus that I've ever try.
They were 12m long.
I used to take 113 (need changing bus), 149, 79 (Express), 9 (Flyer), 150,
these routes could usually saw Scania and I would like to sit at the front and watched drivers.
But that seat was popular for passengers so I had to take the back seats.
Especially in normal routes like 113 and 149,
It was quite hard to grab a front seat.
These Scania were racing car,
in 150, it is a special night route which means only service at night (10pm, 11pm, and sometimes 12am).
Those are the last round of drivers, so they would drive very fast and crazy,
different to HK, the streets are very dark at night in NZ, so It is like driving without streetlights.
That is so cool but dangerous sometimes.
And you can require where to stop (like HK minbus).
So I need to keep watching where the bus going.
I've tried once that the driver didn't follow the original route and going a shortcut.
I was shocked about that, finally he dropped me off somewhere surround my house and I needed walked home.

And I've tried another interesting experience on 150,
when I was getting on, I saw the paseengers at the back singing like a party,
I didn't know where they were come from.
The bus was full, like a sardine can.
The atmosphere was warm and joyful.
