- Flexibility : Superbus enjoys flexiblerouting, since routes are customised based on the preferred starts and destinations of the passengers. Running also on standard roads, it can fit seamlessly into the existing infrastructure.
- Sustainability: electrically-powered, rechargeable batteries. Thanks to its lightweight and highly streamlined construction, Superbus also has low energy consumption.
- User-friendliness: The bus has two different interior cabins, designed for people travelling alone or in groups.
- Comfort: embarking onboard Superbus should be comparable to travelling with a luxurious sedan. This sensational experience will be realized through high speed, ergonomic interior design and personal multimedia equipment for each individual passenger.
