The Story about this special model:
The Citaro Facelift with vehicle number 721 was one of the few buses with full advertising in Cologne.
Its unusual advertising for the Cologne Tram Museum made the bus a real eye-catcher.
In 2019, the bus ended its service in Cologne and, together with other Citaro Facelift articulated buses of the KVB, was transferred at short notice to the "Wuppertaler Stadtwerke", as an extensive replacement service had to be set up there spontaneously due to the failure of the suspension railroad.
While the colors of the other buses were changed, the advertising on this bus was retained, and so a bus with Cologne advertising became a permanent feature of Wuppertal's public transport system.
A great gesture by WSW, which is definitely worth having this model produced in a Wuppertal version as well.
