The simplicity of no loose retractors and easily adjustable seating makes this wheelchair-accessible bus highly flexible and perfect for any trip.

We recently built and delivered a Civitas Economy to Bürgerbus-Verein Wildeshausen. This wheelchair-accessible low-floor bus will serve as a Bürgerbus, a small-scale public transport service primarily operated by volunteers. It focuses on improving mobility for residents, particularly the elderly and those with limited mobility. The Bürgerbus also complements regular public transportation by serving hard-to-reach areas.

The Civitas Economy is ideal for this purpose, offering space for 1 wheelchair passenger and 8 seated passengers. It can be operated with a regular driver’s license (category B), making it accessible for volunteer drivers.

The spacious design allows for easy maneuvering of the wheelchair, and the bus is equipped with the integrated TriflexAIR Flooring and Seating System, ensuring that any driver can safely secure a wheelchair with ease.
