Continuous development
GVB continuously strives to improve the quality of its service and further develop its products. So in the tender process for new equipment they were not just looking for a good balance between the kilometre price and the quality but also at the technical possibilities and compatibility with the public transport network in the capital city. VDL was chosen as the best all-round partner for the collaboration.
Citea SLF-120
The Citea SLF (Low Floor), with its completely flat floor, is the ideal city bus. This low floor construction makes it exceptionally easy to enter the bus and offers optimal access, for travellers with a baby buggy or wheelchair for example. This Citea bus is 12 metres long and has 3 entry doors. In total, the vehicles have 31 passenger seats, around 60 standing places and 1 wheelchair space. During the design of this bus, the highest priority was placed on the safety and comfort of the traveller and driver. The Citea also provides a very ergonomic and comfortable driver’s area. With the Citea line, VDL offers a comprehensive range of city and regional buses. The Low Floor version in this range has won the prestigious international ‘Bus of the Year 2011’ prize. During the ‘Bus Euro Test 2010’ in the Romanian capital Bucharest, the Dutch city bus scored better than the strong international competitors. The members of the jury focussed particularly on the practical usability, the finish, the concept and the efficiency of the participating vehicles.
Buses in scheduled service
The first buses will arrive in Amsterdam at the end of July, and they will be put in scheduled service at the beginning of August. The remaining 60 buses will be put in regular service in the months thereafter.
GVB
GVB is the public transport company of Amsterdam and serves around 800,000 travellers per day who make use of the metro, tram, bus or ferry. The quality focus of GVB’s 4,000 employees is public transport that is safe, on time, clean and customer-friendly. GVB operates the public transport in Amsterdam under contract with the City Region of Amsterdam.
