Bus Rapid Transit
The VDL Citea SLFA-181 Electric is a low-floor bus with a length of 18.1 metres, equipped with a fully electric driveline. In the Netherlands more than 100 of these buses are used. They are used in Eindhoven as citybus, in Groningen on QLink route 1, on a suburban route between Amsterdam and Volendam and around Schiphol Airport. VDL Bus & Coach has won the prestigious EBUS Award 2019 in Berlin in the category ‘Manufacturer of e-buses.

I have commuted in these buses when I was in Amsterdam for 20 days. Smoothest rides of my life.

The roads are so neat and clean! Looks way better than here in America.

[@m3lgar582]

Not gonna lie, but VDL makes the coolest buses. I wish they were introduced in the U.S

[@Pomrucznik]

I think solaris urbino 4 generation is better than vdl

[@trainspotting_and_tech2023]

I wish people realized that trolleybuses are better, especially when they have auxiliary batteries.

[@LunaticOstrich]

@@Pomrucznik Solaris is junk. Everything rattles and they break down all the time

[@Pomrucznik]

@@LunaticOstrichEveryone has their opinions

[@LunaticOstrich]

@@Pomrucznik they look allright, but they're clearly build on a budget. To put it mildly

[@grambo4436]

If only here in the US that has transportation like the ones in Europe, Japan, Korea and China!

[@leonwetzel]

In Groningen wordt tevens op lijn 2 (ook Q-link Groen) met dit materieel gereden

Nice to see that the dutch are taking electrification of their public transport system seriously 😉😊

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

Mooie bussen! :)

[@antonio9766]

Not all are BRT bus some are bus lane and I've seen Trolleybus as Electric bus on bus lane and BRT System.

[@fergus247]

Very nice

[@derekantill3721]

VDL Citea with overhead charging at terminus should be able to put in a good day’s work.

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

Ik vind zulke bussen schattig en knuffelbaar. :)

[@UHarshanBlackBoy1995]

@Abel de Goederen Hahaha nee.

[@TheRollingBear]

[@Volker1944]

[@fauzirahman3285]

What's the range on these?

[@publictransportworldwide]

150-200 kilometers

[@juulvlog]

Bij EBS brandde er gister eentje af. Dat was nog eens een hoop uitstoot!

[@europeanbengali]

I think this country is Netherland

[@TheRollingBear]

Yes it is

[@crysed7897]

This is not qualified as BRT in my opinion, I don't see separate bus lane that is isolated from the rest of roads used by cars...

[@publictransportworldwide]

crys ed the name BRT is in the first place referring to the design of the bus. In all of the examples the buses use separate bus lanes for part of the routes.

[@pizzaboy399]

I believe another criterion for BRT is that they only stop at stations and passengers must tap a pass or metro card purchased at the station- but never on the bus. This minimizes the time spent at stops.

[@universegaming7063]

NOOO They are clearly copiyng Oslo’s bus

[@michaelfunke3903]

Die von osnabrück sind viel schöner
