Carrus City

[introduction, details, picture page]

Carrus City, Pääkaupunkilinjat 124

Introduction

This model, the Carrus 204 City, is the high floored version the Carrus City family. In this time of low floored buses this model has not gained much popularitu, but it is still the main model for Pääkaupunkilinjat, a subsidiary of STA. PKL uses two lengths of this bus, 12 and 13 metres. Lähilinjat uses more spacious versions with 2+2+0 doors and 49 places that were originally bought by the now demised Liikenne. The large ceiling channels are identical to other members of the City family making it hard for an even slightly taller person to stand in the pram area.
