Slovakia gets its own Routemaster

First Macedonia and then Slovakia gets its own routemaster type.

Radio Slovakia International reports on the bus.

There is no open platform

And they are not rolling out the buses.

Well it's only on trial and there is only one of them. Double deck info

Despite the thing looking peculiar it has opening windows and what looks like air conditioning. More than a certain other bus which is still boiling people alive on routes 24 and 38 despite being "fixed".

Let's face it - it's still a gimmick and Bratislava has a decent transport network with trams, trolleybuses and buses. We would do well to follow their lead and have far more electric powered vehicles.

The technical data of the bus is interesting - it's 10.5m and seats 57+1 with 15 standees, it has a Euro V Cummins engine & unusually for a decker, has a 6 spd Allison gearbox
