Citybus

Last update: 2011-05-22

Citybus was established in 2002. It has become Kuwait's second largest bus operator with a fleet of just under 600 vehicles. The group is expanding it's operations in the region, among others in Jordan.

Fleet details (from observations for vehicles withdrawn before 2010, from Citybus for current fleet in 2010, see list below). The first buses (around 2002) were bought from Marcopolo Brasil with some Japanese midibuses. They were numbered in 3-digit numbered series (though a trailing 0 was added to make most 4-digit!). In the period until 2007 the 8000-series buses followed: four or five Chinese prototypes (8000-8003), six secondhand coaches (8400-8405), one secondhand Neoplan doubledecker (8500) and hundreds of South Korean Daewoo, Hyundai and KIA buses in various lengths, door configurations and interior layouts. One series of Egyptian built Mercedes-Benz -MCV 400 buses was also bought (8300-series). The vehicles in the 8000/8100-series have only one door, the (similar) ones in the 83/85/86/87/8800-series have two doors. Then, in 2008, the switch to Chinese-built Yutong buses was made. (blue = in service by May 2011).
