Still can't adjust to that livery. Doesn't work that well in my opinion.

Re: Torrens Transit Bustech artics.
Nice pictures, shame about the livery...
I'd also like to see the interiors, are they low-floor until the rear-most door, or already raised through the turntable as in the Custom CB60/Evo II/CB80 combo artics? The windowline suggests that the latter is the case, but this is Bustech we're talking about after all...

I'd post any important, bus-related links I had, but they're outdated anyways.

Combo artics, which seems to be standard in Adelaide. The only low floor artic is 2801 from 2001.Bus Suggestions wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:59 pm Nice pictures, shame about the livery...

Even L94UA/CR228L 3331 is a combo

Re: Torrens Transit Bustech artics.
Only a little bit of low floor at the front. High floor through the turntable. Can't understand why Adelaide and Canberra like these things, especially now with all-door loading. They're a complete anachronism with no benefit. Just make life harder for passengers.Bus Suggestions wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:59 pm Nice pictures, shame about the livery...

Re: Torrens Transit Bustech artics.
I don't get why Custom Coaches and also Bustech's vehicles are like that. The Custom Coaches CB60 Volvo B12BLEA Euro 3's and the Volgren Volvo B12BLEA Euro 5's aren't like that.tonyp wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 11:01 pmOnly a little bit of low floor at the front.

Re: Torrens Transit Bustech artics.
It's because the operator/agencies (AdMet, Transport Canberra, Metro Tasmania) order them like that - with a high floor through most of the bus. There's no logic in this specification that I can discern, other than it being something that they did in the past and nobody has ever questioned changing it. It's called a "combo" design.
