* Hungary - The IKARUS bus is back in Budapest
Budapest,Hungary -ELTIS/Urban Transport Magazine -9 Aug 2010: -- After 20 years the ‘legendary’ bus of former socialist countries is back on the streets of Budapest. The new Ikarus and the Credo Citadell were recently introduced and tested by the Budapest Transport Company, and received very positive passenger feedback... Historically, the urban bus fleets of most socialist countries comprised mainly of Hungarian produced IKARUS models. Although many thousands of them still operate today, production was stopped due to the collapse of market demand, failed privatization and intense international competition... Now, almost twenty years later, two new bus models were recently tested by the Budapest Public Transport Company. The Ikarus V 134 and the Credo Citadell 19 buses were both developed and produced in Hungary... The new prototypes were tested in June 2010, on two bus lines. Passengers could board the buses for free and they were asked to provide feedback on the buses to the developers...
