Any comparison of noise generated by these buses? Of changes in the on-time rate due to changed handling/acceleration? How much smoke did the diesels put out?

The noise inside the bus seems quite annoying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEKJSMqhYKk
I've been in one of these. The noise is noticeable but not nearly as offensive as a diesel bus engine revving.

Also there's no idling that would normally cause vibrations.

Yes, it's a much more relaxing ride compared to a diesel bus. Smooth and quiet.

The noise seems to be exaggerated somewhat in that video - in real life it's pretty subtle.
