FINAL REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY BUS OENV S80

This final report concludes the 2-year test period of the city bus OeNV S80. The public transport system can now introduce buses into service which reflect the technological state-of-the-art. Twenty-two S80 test vehicles (11 made by Daimler-Benz and 11 by M.A.N.) were tested with 8 W. German public transport companies and were the subject of an opinion poll. Passenger verdicts on the S80 were: 76% very good and good, 22% satisfactory and 2%. unsatisfactory. Passengers would like to see improvements made to the ventilation system, the route indication inside the bus, the seats, and a reduction in the internal noise level. The operators would like to have more standing room in the vehicle and changes made to facilitate the cleaning of the buses.
