Australian manufacturer Bus & Coach International says it is thrilled to unveil its new Volvo B8RLE chassis paired with a BCI coach body featuring a low floor entrance. The combination, similar to the Plaxton Panther LE coaches used by Stagecoach in Fife, is designed for easy accessibility as well as coach-like comfort, says the manufacturer, with the aim of making every journey smoother for all passengers.

”A huge thank you to Kangaroo Bus Lines and Volvo for partnering with us on this incredible project,” the company said. “Together, we’re setting new standards in urban transit.”

The interior features a low-floor front section with standard coach seats beyond. BCI
