LOW-FLOOR ARTICULATED BUS WITH SPECIAL ADVANTAGES FOR SHORT-DISTANCE TRANSPORT

The low-floor articulated bus embodies numerous technical improvements for urban and suburban transport. The principal improvement is the particularly low floor, which is intended primarily to facilitate boarding and alighting for school children, disabled and elderly persons. This means shorter travelling times and greater comfort for the passengers, and shorter stopping times, speedier turn-round of vehicles and reduced vehicle requirements for the transport undertakings: in short, increased attractiveness at a lower cost. /GMRL/
