Stuttgart / Dietmannsried. By buying two ComfortClass 500 coaches, Arnold Reisen GmbH shows its faith in the Setra brand. The family firm which was founded in the Allgäu region in 1927 has used buses of all Setra model series. The S 515 HD equipped with 40 seats and the S 516 HD with 48 travel seats both represent a high level of comfort, safety and economy. With their modern driver assistance systems, the touring coaches, which also feature flashing LED lamps when the luggage compartments are open, boast the most up-to-date safety technology.
Walter Arnold, the managing director of the third generation of the family firm, is pleased at the increasing numbers of passengers: "For us, the coach is the most environmentally friendly, the most comfortable and the safest form of transport that also promotes social contact. We're confident that coach travel will prevail in the long run in these difficult corona times, partly thanks to high Setra quality." For Walter Arnold, the ultra-modern climate control systems are very important, as they guarantee a high proportion of fresh air in the coach while on the road.
Altogether, Arnold Reisen GmbH has 18 buses in its all-Setra fleet. Also, the company acquired one S 415 UL business, which is used on local regular-service bus routes in the Kempten region.
Biersack updates Setra fleet
Stuttgart / Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Once Setra, always Setra. That is the motto of "Hans Biersack GmbH Coaches and Travel". A new S 516 HD with 53 seats is now also part of the Upper Bavarian family business. The first trip made by the ComfortClass 500 touring coach took passengers around the "Wilder Kaiser" mountain range in autumnal Austria as well as to Lake Achen.
The bus company with its own travel agency, located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, is proud of its all-Setra fleet. "Since the company was set up, we haven't had any other make of coach," says Hans Biersack junior, who runs the company together with his father. With two additional S 515 HD models, Biersack currently has a total of three buses from the current Setra 500 model series in its fleet. These are replaced by new vehicles every ten years.
