Platform for innovative transport systems
The Citaro is also typically used as a platform for innovative transport systems. Take, for example, the articulated Citaro GÜ buses that are operating as “road trains” in the town of Mittweida in Saxony. The buses were brought in to replace a discontinued rail link and boast a somewhat unusual specification. Passengers sit on coach-style seats which are arranged face to face, and on-board facilities include a bistro area, a toilet and space for carrying bicycles.
