For today's #CoSoBuses here is a pic from the Setra website of one of the buses of the new Setra S 515 LE bus, which is part of the brand new S 500 LE MultiClass series @researchbuzz. I'll be honest: while the front view is good looking, the side looking is more meh

For today's #CoSoBuses post here is a Bavarian bus that found a new life in Rome: the Mercedes-Benz Citaro O530 C2 #9899 of Roma TPL at the Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano terminal of the Rome urban bus route 665. This bus comes from the company Demmelmair. The MVV (the Munich public authority that manages the buses networks in the area) livery and the LAWO destination displays are the original ones

Prepare yourself for something that could make you faint, @researchbuzz: the Brisbane City Council made an order of 60 electric double articulated buses (each of them is 24.5 metres long) made by the Swiss company Carrosserie Hess.

I was meant to make a #CoSoBuses toot today but when I try to load an image CoSo crashes @researchbuzz 😐

@researchbuzz For the #CoSoBuses episode of today here is an old but gold articulated trolleybus. In the pic you can see the Autodromo-MAN Busotto NGT204F n°25 of SETA Modena. These trolleybuses entered in service in 2000 under the former operator ATCM after 5 years of suspension of the trolleybuses service due to a total overhaul of the aerial electric cables. The electric system is made by Kiepe while the auxiliary Diesel engine is made by MAN

For today's #CoSoBuses root here is the first product of the recently established partnership between Iveco and the Turkish bus maker Otokar, the Iveco Streetway. This entry level urban bus is available in two lengths, 12 m and 18 m, and with two different FPT engines, Cursor 9 and Cursor 9 NG (natural gas). In the pic there is one of the new Streetway CNG of AMSC Gallarate with the new livery introduced by the Lombardia region for the urban buses.

@researchbuzz

For today's #CoSoBuses toot here are 24 metres of trolleybus with this tri-articulated Solaris Trollino IV 24. In Italy however this kind of buses is not road legal because the law sets the maximum length of buses at 18.75 metres @researchbuzz

Test toot with a random picture to see if I can resume the #CoSoBuses and #CoSoSigns toots

For today's #CoSoBuses toot we have an extraurban bus that hasn't been successful only because of the well established competitors, the BredaMenariniBus Lander. It was equipped with a MAN D2066 LUH43 Euro 5 EEV engine (6-cylinder, 10518 cm³/648.4 cu in, 265 kW/360 PS) and a 4-speed Voith DIWA 864.5 automatic gearbox or a 6-speed ZF manual.
