These buses are manufactured in Romania under license. The Bucharest Transport Company (S.T.B.) did not buy them, being too expensive. The buses were bought by the Gendarmerie, the Army and some private transport operators. Indeed, there would have been some spacious buses, very good for public transport. But the Bucharest Transport Company recently bought 400 Otokar buses from Turkey.
The gendarmerie, which owns the buses, uses these buses to transport the gendarmes` equipment and costumes.
The story that STB did not want to buy such buses is wide. We all know that the contract was dedicated to Otokar. Euro Bus Diamond could not participate because they do not produce short and articulated buses.
