AFLEET of 30 new Leyland buses is shortly to go into service in Copenhagen. The vehicles are Royal Tigers with pneumo-cyclic gearboxes. Steel bodies are being built by Dansk Automobil Byggeri, A/S.
Ten of the buses have rear platforms for standing passengers and have three entrances, those at the centre and rear being almost 4 ft. wide to allow two people to use them at the same time. The buses will be for one-man or twoman operation.
With one-man operation, the rear door will be closed and passengers will enter at the front and leave at the centre. When a conductor is carried, he will sit between the centre and rear doors and passengers will enter at the rear and leave at the front.
These buses can carry 75 passengers, with seats for 28. The other vehicles. which are designed for one-man operation only, will carry 70 people, 33 seated. They will have two doors and no rear platform.
