How to recognize the third double-decker bus in Kyiv

The transport has external advertising, and instead of a protective screen on the upper windshield, wipers have been installed on the windows of the second floor. It is fully adapted for passengers with limited mobility: low floor, spaces for wheelchairs, two ramps, and room for a stroller.

Inside, there are panoramic windows, air conditioning, USB charging, an automatic payment system, and audio announcements for stops on both levels. There is also an external electronic display with the route number on board.

Key features of the new double-decker bus

• Low floor and accessibility for people with disabilities

• Two ramps and space for a stroller

• Panoramic windows and air conditioning system

• USB ports, automatic payment, and audio announcements

• Wipers on the second floor and external advertising.

According to transport communities, one of the previously released double-decker buses already has damage to the roof in the area where a protective screen was supposed to be installed on the first models. The new vehicle does not have this part, which may be an attempt to optimize the design.
