Bus Transportation

Bus transportation includes:

public city bus transportation
regular scheduled, suburban and intercity bus transportation, including long-distance lines/routes
tour transportation

Our objective in scheduled bus transportation is to provide high-quality, reliable services according to the requirements of individual municipalities and regions. Currently, we provide these services in nine regions of the Czech Republic, specifically in the Vysočina (Highlands) Region, South Moravia Region, Ústí Region, Liberec Region and the Capital City of Prague.

Currently, our vehicle fleet consists primarily of Mercedes-Benz Intouro and SETRA LE 415 Business buses.

We care about our planet, so 96 % of our vehicle fleet meet the strictest and highest parameters of the Euro VI emission standards.

With an average age of 3.5 years, our vehicles ensure high travel safety, reliability and comfort for passengers.

An integral part of our fleet used for needs of public transportation by bus consists mostly of low-floor buses which form 75% of our buses. Their design facilitates easy stepping and out of the bus. We also own buses with a special platform to facilitate easy boarding of passengers with strollers or in wheelchairs.
