More Buses As Poland Goes Long Distance
Souter Investments has announced a multi-million Euro investment in 50 new coaches for its Polish business, which will expand PolskiBus.com’s coach fleet to 68 vehicles, all of which meet the latest Euro 5 emissions standards and offer free wi-fi, leather seats and air conditioning.
Souter Investments CEO, Sir Brian, said: “We have been delighted with the success of PolskiBus.com since its launch four months ago. This major new investment reflects our commitment to driving up the quality of travel for our customers by investing in new, high-specification vehicles.” PolskiBus.com operates fast and cheap inter-city express coach services across Poland and Central and Eastern Europe. Fares start at just one zloty plus a one zloty booking fee with no hidden luggage charges (1 Zloty = €0.22). Tickets can be booked at www.polskibus.com .
Roger Bowker, chief executive of Souter Holdings Poland, said: “PolskiBus.com has carried over 175,000 passengers in its first three months of trading and we know that our customers love our low fares, comfortable coaches, free wi-fi access and friendly drivers. This order is the first phase of a major new investment programme planned by Souter Holdings Poland as we look to develop the PolskiBus.com business.”
The 50-bus order will consist of 30 single-deck Altano and 20 double-deck Astromega coaches, built by Van Hool in Belgium. Each vehicle will be equipped with in-seat charging points for laptops and phones. The coaches will offer reclining leather seats, air-conditioning, toilet facilities and disabled access.
