They don't sound better to me, just more complex.
They don't improve stopping distance, they can't
They don't improve road feel
They don't improve cost
They are slightly quieter, but I'm not sure thats a good thing, I LIKE knowing the ABS is activated.
Better brakes exist, the biggest improvement is the use of full floating rear calipers ( reaction arms ) to eliminate the front bogie brake jacking issue allowing all 4 rear wheels to participate in braking. This can be done with the drum brakes or disks, there's no advantage to disks on a coach. drums have a higher torque multiplier.
well disks have fewer parts and are easier to service I'll give em that
