[LON] 倫敦市內公共巴士‧單層掛接‧M-Benz CTIARO

倫敦雖然是雙層巴士之都，不過也有為數不少的單層巴士，當中有很多是18米長的平治CITARO單層掛接巴士，
呢批車好正，好靜，也是倫敦巴士少數的非英國製造的公共巴士，不過聽聞掛接巴士在未來數年會在倫敦消失

CITARO真是一款好正的掛接巴士，我好鐘意












73，是倫敦巴士線皇之一


大笨鐘下的CITARO


加送倫敦版的70，用Dennis Dart為主力


倫敦將來是否真是會將掛接巴士全部撤出？原因何在？

多謝收看，歡迎討論

Political reasons, Citaro Bendi introduced by Ken Livingston which is a Labour, and nowadays, the London Mayor is Boris Johnson, who is a Preservative.

Should be Conservative not Preservative...
Moreover there have been complaints about the Bendis by some Londoners, most probably
because they don't want these German buses to be a symbol of the British capital. Some also
claimed that they're blocking the traffic.

Actually, no. Not counting bodywork, just under half of the London fleet are not built in Britain - Vast majority of the Volvos and all Scanias are built in Sweden or Poland, for instance.

The current plan is yes. Apart from the Citaros that S3N92 mentioned to convert the Red Arrow services, the 38 is also due for conversion back to double deckers later this year.

個人覺得應該就唔係好關［德國］的問題，

如果係就又點會有５０架新ｃｉｔａｒｏ出到牌呢？

The conversion to bendy buses few years ago has results in loads of £ spent on highway modification to make London's roads and bus stop suitable for them; and now back to zero........

NV58兄

知唔知道Citaro Bendies退役之後TfL會如何處置呢

volvo兄，比較起你常見的星洲掛接車，你覺得倫敦的還是星洲的好？

These Citaro Gs and those O 405Gs are definitely 2 class / era of product.

In terms of riding quality, Citaro Gs are definitely better.
But in terms of maintenance, O 405G should be better. But I am still puzzled why those London Citaro Gs could ignite themselves while those in other countries did not.

BTW, would Glasgow be a possible destination for these Citaro Gs?
