DUAL-MODE-BUS IN ESSEN

A trial and demonstration network is being developed in Essen for the operation of bimodal buses and of buses guided on their own right of way--with a view to running a mixed tram and bus system on the same tracks. Buses are diesel powered and run on their own right of way in regional traffic, and as trolley-buses on normal tracks in town centres. Mixed operation of bimodal buses running in tunnels is envisaged from 1985.
