So I would have to say that Australia needs to bring on full low floor buses, as they do work well. I think all our so called low floor buses in Adelaide are just low entrance buses, I am not sure what it is like, for the rest of the country.

To TA3001, the N series is Scania's low-floor chassis. The K series is their low-entry chassis. Easier to identify than some other bus manufacturers' model codes! In Europe the model code for a low-entry chassis often has the suffix LE, as it is a variant on the more common low-floor. In Australia it's the other way around.

What does the K stand for with modern Scania buses?
"ultra-low floor bus" means a bus that--
(a) has stairless entry; and
(b) is accessible to wheelchairs; and
(c) is authorised to carry standing passengers.
