Description
This is the most recent MAN bus design for inner city services. Actually it is a whole family of buses with different engines and seating configurations, from articulated city buses focusing on standing passengers to regional types offering more seats. Buses of this type can be found in many cities throughout Germany and Europe.
This is the most modern standard city bus in the set. It offers a good capacity, an additional third door for faster passenger exchange and low-floor design for better accessibility. However, due to the strong competition on the European market, some sacrifices on quality might show through.
