Frequently Asked Questions
What value does the low-floor bus add to public transportation?
The low-floor bus makes small-scale public transport possible in areas where a large scheduled bus is not cost-effective. With seating for up to eight passengers and full wheelchair accessibility, it keeps transport available in sparsely populated neighbourhoods and narrow streets. This prevents empty buses on fixed routes and ensures public transport remains both accessible and efficient.
What is the difference between the Civitas Economy L3 and L4?
The “L” refers to length. The L4 offers more space, providing additional seating and enough room to easily position a wheelchair. The L3 is more compact and highly manoeuvrable, making it ideal for narrow streets and busy city centres.
How user-friendly is the bus for drivers?
The integrated wheelchair restraint system, ramp and ergonomic controls make operation simple and intuitive. Drivers can work quickly and safely, while physical strain is kept to a minimum.
