MAN Lion’s City GL in the EBSF project.

The “ Europea n Bus System of the Fu ture” ( EBSF)

research project is the largest road-based transport

project by the European Commission. The aim is

to promote the development of an appealing bus

system for future public transport and to relieve the

traffic situation, particularly in megacities.

The E BSF proje ct is divi ded into a numb er of s ub-

projects, in which various development approaches

are tested in real-life situations across seven Euro-

pean cities.

MAN Truck & Bus is taking part in the EBSF sub-

projects, in which increasing passenger flow and

improving carriage of passengers are central is-

sues. The innovative 18.75 metre-long articulated

bus from MAN, Lion’s City GL, is taking part as a

demonstrator vehicle in the test in Budapest, which

lasts several months. Every workday, the number

86 bus, which has 46 bus stops along an eleven-

kilometre inner-city route, takes around 26,000

passengers in each direction. The Lion’s City GL is

specially designed for high volumes of passengers,

quick passenger turnaround and optimum comfort.
