Mercedes Benz Citaro G Bendy Buses | York Park & Ride Service 2 [First York]

[@AmbientWalking]

Incredible way of experiencing the world. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this! Really soothing!

[@darkwolfcz434]

I was pleasantly surprised to see them when i was in york. Uk needs more bendy busses!

[@SyafikFikoIskandar]

doesn't work in london

[@glitchFan2428]

I believe apart from Aberdeen and Gatwick (and maybe Heathrow ?) airport there aren't any other bendy buses in regular service in the UK

[@darkwolfcz434]

@glitchFan2428 I believe there may be some in Brighton? But I was there years ago soo they may be gone

[@psgistheworstclubineurope]

Regular commuters are happy to see bendies as they can easily evade the fare, from what I heard

[@glitchFan2428]

@@darkwolfcz434 the Brighton ones were retired this year and at least one was semi preserved and can be found on rail replacement work

[@TEEBRposts516]

They're still in service Not just York that has the last ones but Aberdeen has BG58 reg Citaro Gs

[@Xilla]

There fate will be sealed in the coming days sadly , the route 2 is being diverted away from the low bridges , allowing the route to use double deckers

[@glitchFan2428]

That's a shame!

[@greghuang2314]

It's sad to see these retire since there are so few articulated buses left in the UK...the only other places I can name that have artics in the UK are Stansted airport and Aberdeen

[@glitchFan2428]

I didn't know Stansted had them, although if I remember correctly Gatwick has some 17 plate citaro c2s.. and there's at least one semi preserved citaro G (ex Brighton) on rail replacement work in the north west. Still very rare though

[@your_usual_225G_enthusiast]

the front and back really looks similar to the citaro c1. this citaro g looks like its worth to be an addition to the singapore’s bendy bus fleet.

[@glitchFan2428]

I would really like to see that however Singapore generally doesn't really like bendies

[@rtproductionspoggers]

damn i want to ride this someday

[@glitchFan2428]

Some units will be sold on so it's possible to ride them

[@TheRealNAuthenticIzaria3436]

I thought the citaro Gs were all gone! 😮

[@glitchFan2428]

I think these have since been retired or are nearly all retired now

[@lawrencediangana]

Great Journey :)

[@glitchFan2428]

Glad you enjoyed it

Awesome buses sadly London retired theirs in 2011

[@glitchFan2428]

Yeah and some went to Malta and burnt down

[@clarencetang3673]

The transmission sounds like ZF

[@scotland_buses8723]

That’s because they are ZF

[@glitchFan2428]

And that's why the zf logo is in the thumbnail

[@charlesfrias8182]

Bendy buses in red london cannot last long for its debut like the old ones due to overheating fuel inneficiency and that’s why they’re weren’t popular

[@陈劲恺]

Apart from that, they are often stuck on turning within narrow streets (don't forget that bendy buses have massive turning radiuses) and often overheated and burned down. Finally fare evasion on such buses were just like the plague, since people can board from any door and hence not pay the bus fare in the absence of the bus captain's awareness. Due to their issues when serving London, Boris Johnson (mayor of London then) in 2008 decided to replace these with newer high-capacity buses called the New Routemaster (Borismaster), albeit that the latter also had more problems. 😂

[@resketless]

Wished could see this bus model in singapore

[@glitchFan2428]

Same, would be a nice addition to all the man a24s

[@psgistheworstclubineurope]

These Citaros are nothing compared to the bendies we have seen in Singapore

[@SyafikFikoIskandar]

1:20 one of the problems
