Município de Avis – Marcopolo Viaggio 350
Coach operated by Município de Avis seen at Praça dos Restauradores, Lisboa, in May 2012. This coach is a Marcopolo Viaggio 350 ¹ registered in 2001 and uses a Volvo chassis. The Municipality of Avis is located in the Alentejo region, in the District of Portalegre. In addition to its use in municipal activities and in supporting schools, communities and other institutions, a properly decorated municipal bus is a postcard on wheels. In this case, the adhesive vinyl decoration characterizes the municipality through an interesting combination of pictograms and colors and invites us to visit the picturesque Maranhão Dam . As for the Marcopolo Viaggio 350 in the image, I assume it was replaced by an Irizar i6 with a Scania chassis, with capacity for up to 51 passengers (51+1+1) and equipped with access for people with reduced mobility. Introduced in Brazil in 1983, the Marcopolo Viaggio will have a significant success over eight generations, remaining in production to this day...
