Setra LE buses for Tübingen and Reutlingen districts

The low-floor buses, each equipped with 45 seats, will be operated on public bus services in the districts of Tübingen and Reutlingen.

Besides the high vehicle quality, decisive factors for Kurz Omnibusverkehr GmbH were the good, long-standing business relationship with the Setra brand as well as Daimler's own dense Omniplus service network.
