The Rheinische Bahngesellschaft AG Dusseldorf (since 2005 Rheinbahn AG) had a total of 23 MB articulated buses of type O 405 GN2. The buses (No. 6508-6530) were put into service in three series in 1996 and 1997 and replaced buses of type MB O 305 G and MAN SG 242 H.
The first series from the beginning of 1996 (6508-6514) had the old red-white Rheinbahn design, red seat covers with black stripes and dark gray handrails.
The buses had a ZF transmission
The second series (6515-6523) of the O 405 GN2 followed at the end of 1996 with the brand new silver-red Rheinbahn design. They were the first buses without the familiar red and white color scheme.
The interior trim and seat covers were gray, the handrails yellow.
The buses had a ZF transmission.
A third series followed at the end of 1997 (6524-6530). The buses could be distinguished from the second series by the blue seat covers and the Voith transmission.
The O 405 GN2 were located in several Rheinbahn depots. A large number of these buses were stationed in Dusseldorf-Benrath, as well as in Dusseldorf-Lierenfeld.
The MB O 405 GN2 were taken out of service between 2008 and 2013. They were replaced by MAN NG 323 and Solaris Urbino 18 III.
In 2013 this bus was sold to Deltakar, Varna/Bulgaria (No. 7065 / license plate 'B 7065 HC').
