      i believe they are stil using it as shuttle/premium etc.. the sprinters are bought to supplement the new premium routes imo..

      Very under-powered..
      Can see them trying to struggle up slope when it is full load..

      I guess, they should have bought more Rosa instead of this under-powered bus (Or Van..)

      So are the doors automatically-operated, or do you open them manually like the doors of a van/van-like mini-bus?

      Automatically operated. The door switch is on the driver left-hand-side.
