Carristur 102 – CAMO Grande Citadino


Bus operated by Carristur seen at Praça Marquês de Pombal, Lisboa, in September 2011. This bus with fleet number 102 is a CAMO Grande Citadino registered in 2007 and included in a series of 7 units, 100–106, placed in service in 2007–2008. It has an overall length of 39.4 ft and is configured for the Aerobus services with additional luggage space. It uses the Volvo B7R LE chassis with the 213 kW (290 hp) Volvo D7E engine. Owned by Carris and based in Lisboa, Carristur operates regular specialized services and occasional services with buses, coaches and streetcars recognizable under the brand Yellow Bus. In partnership with Transtejo, Carristur also operates cruises on the Tejo River under the brand Yellow Boat. Here, we see this fully loaded CAMO Grande Citadino on regular specialized service 91, Aerobus Aeroporto–Cais do Sodré. As far as I am aware, in 2015 or 2016 this 102 is converted by Liderbus into a double-deck sightseeing bus.

The Volvo B7R LE chassis is used on low-entry buses with the engine mounted at the rear. Voith or ZF gearboxes. It can be found with a variety of bodies, including the Volgren Optimus in Australia, the Wright Eclipse 2 in the United Kingdom, and the Caetano City Gold and CAMO Citadino in Portugal. B7R LE denotes a low-entry (B7R LE, låg entré) bus chassis (B7R LE, buss) with the engine mounted longitudinally at the rear (B7R LE, längdsmonterad bakmotor). The digit 7 (B7R LE) indicates this chassis uses an engine with a nominal displacement of 7 liters, in this case of 7 145 cm³. As a note of interest, on Volvo complete buses and coaches the digits 7, 8 and 9 denote, respectively, a city bus (7xxx, stadsbuss), an intercity bus (8xxx, intercitybuss) and a tourist coach (9xxx, turistbuss).

The CAMO Grande Citadino is a low-entry bus body, used by Carris since 2005. ●

Back to Normality

Image
After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider , which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting. By the way, the problem reported to the operator VODAFONE in August 2023 is still unsolved in February March April October November 2024 . Literally, unbelievable . As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] ...
