Volvo B8L

Additional Features

USB Charging Ports

The bus was equipped with USB charging ports for selected seats only. Charging ports come with room for either one or two USB cables.

The bus only fitted USB charging ports to the rear saloon seats on the lower deck, and the last two rows of the upper deck. The reason for such an odd layout is unknown.

Exit Doors

Doors and the Automated Wheelchair Ramp are supplied by SMC Transit, also known as SMC Pneumatics. A video of the ramp deployment is shown below. The automatic ramp was removed prior to entering revenue service, and replaced with a manual wheelchair ramp.

    Feeling so sad my heart pains to see this bus go to private bus operator. Why cant it just be with SBST where it belongs rightfully. Very sad.
