Been driving the Citaro line for a couple of years now, and I've spent a lot of shifts in the newer electrics too. The best thing for me is definitely the driver's setup, feels like they finally asked what we want: controls are actually where you need em. Visibility is great, so you don't find yourself stretching your neck at every tight corner, especially downtown. I do wish they'd make some tweaks to the info system, though. Sometimes it lags, and real-time data doesn't always sync up, which is annoying when passengers get grumpy. The ride's super smooth though, suspension just eats up all those potholes on older routes. Never ran into anything major with reliability yet, which is a relief cause breakdowns mid-shift are the worst.

So I drove the Citaro 0530 for about a year, mainly on city routes. The best thing for me is the driver's seat, I can set it however I want and it's actually comfortable. The dashboard is super clear, I like how all the controls are right there, don't need to search for anything. Winter heating is just average, takes a bit to warm up the bus, especially on cold mornings. The electric mirrors are easy to adjust and the heating helps, but sometimes the controls are a bit fiddly. Doors are pretty quiet, both opening and closing. The auto gearbox shifts smooth but it's just 4-speed, so cruising at top speed gets noisy. Not a bad bus for daily city work, but the heating part could be better.

The Mercedes-Benz Travego offers an overall decent riding experience with a few noticeable areas needing improvement. I found the suspension firm, which is okay on smoother roads but might discomfort on prolonged journeys. The seating lacks sufficient lumbar support, and the armrest situation isn't ideal. However, I appreciated the quiet cabin and smooth handling on high-speed stretches. Wi-Fi availability was erratic, reducing its utility. Good storage space for luggage is a plus.

I've driven the 2026 Travego several times, and it's undoubtedly a solid vehicle. The driver's cockpit feels modern and is equipped with helpful assistance systems, ensuring my rides are less stressful. However, I noticed that while the suspension performs excellently on most terrain, very uneven roads still generate moderate vibrations. This doesn’t significantly detract from the experience but is worth mentioning. Overall: quite comfortable and manageable.

Had a chance to run the Citaro for a day. Visibility behind the wheel is top, the mirrors and windows really help with city traffic. Handling's sharp, not much body roll for a big unit and the brakes bite when you need ‘em. The low floor means I didn’t see anyone tripping, easier for prams and wheelchairs. Downside? That back cooling unit sticks out into the cabin - looks weird and chews up space where you’d expect extra seats. Also, the bus is a little wider than locals; honestly, on narrow city lanes I’m a bit more on edge. Still, most things felt put together tight, and service intervals are typical for German rigs. Maintenance contracts help if you can afford ‘em, but parts from Europe might take a while.

Driven a Tourismo on a couple of trips. It feels like it’s set up for drivers who do a lot of tight stuff, not just motorway miles. The mirror setup is doing most of the work here. You can see straight across the front, and you get a clean view down the side to around the front wheel area. That helps with cyclists and people stepping off curbs.

Power and maneuvering felt strong enough, no drama getting it placed where I wanted. I did have a small gripe with the dash indicators at night, the dip/main thing had me looking twice because the icons didn’t jump out to me.

Comfort-wise, I can’t complain from the driver seat, but I’m not gonna pretend I reviewed it like a passenger.

I've driven the Mercedes-Benz Travego for a several long haul journeys, and I must say it holds up quite well. I'm particularly impressed with its handling on highways, providing a stable ride even under challenging weather conditions. The driver's cockpit is well laid out, making controls easily accessible and ensuring less strain during long hours of operation. However, I found the maintenance tasks slightly intricate due to the sophisticated systems integrated. Moreover, while the seating is expansive and comfortable, the overhead storage compartments could be easier to reach. Overall, a worthwhile model, but some areas for improvement exist.

In 2011, we purchased a new bus from a tour company. The mileage has exceeded 500,000 kilometers. Out of all the vehicles in our fleet, this is the most reliable machine. The Man and Neoplan buses often break down, and in my opinion, they are less reliable.

If you keep track and service it in a timely manner, the machine will last forever, but the body rusts, so repainting and anti-corrosion treatment are constantly needed. As for the engine, at 700,000 kilometers of mileage, there are no particular issues, repairs are planned. The suspension and axles are top-notch, very well done for such years.

This Mercedes-Benz Intouro bus is from 2007. We bought it used in the Czech Republic. Everything was fine for several years, but a couple of weeks ago, the rear door started opening and closing randomly. Then, a week later, something strange happened with the instrument panel - it started flashing like a Christmas tree. The issues were fixed at the service center, but the repair was costly. We are a bit disappointed.
