Umbrella will deploy new Setra 415 LE buses with the highest possible equipment on regional lines in the Pardubice region. Each of these top low-floor buses costs more than 200,000 euros without VAT and is equipped with split air conditioning for passengers and drivers. The buses have the most powerful engines, automatic transmissions, cruise control, all safety features and driving assistants, large comfort wheels and other equipment that will be appreciated by both passengers and drivers.

In addition, passengers will be able to recharge their electronic devices on buses, and Wi-Fi connection will be available for them. Moreover, while driving, the information system will show them the online location of the bus. "Vehicles in this configuration do not yet exist in Czech transport transport. In both tour and international scheduled and contractual transport, we are convinced that both passengers and, above all, our drivers should have the maximum possible comfort and make no distinction between the vehicles we drive in Germany and those we will be using in the Czech Republic," said Pavel Steiner, owner and CEO of Umbrella, to the Zdopravy.cz server.

Given the quality of the buses, it is no wonder that the company has already concluded contracts with all 48 employees that it will employ in the Přelouč area. There are 32 buses ready for operation. "We are fully staffed. With a combination of good earnings and quality buses, drivers are always easy to find,“ added Pavel Steiner for Zdopravy.cz. Bus transport in the Přelouč area has so far been provided by Arriva and according to Steiner, the cooperation between the two companies is seamless, which is evidenced by the fact that a large number of drivers are also moving from Arriva to Umbrella.

The company Umbrella Coach & Buses has a ten-year contract in the Přelouč area. It won the public tender for the operation of bus transport at a price of CZK 36.94 per kilometer. The carrier will have facilities in Přelouč and Pardubice.
