Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 45 Bus: Hertford
New kid on the block which was getting a poor reception from the local bus passengers. The third day of use on town 396 circular route. The highlighted problems are the distance from the curb to the bus because of door design, difficult access for disabled and elderly passengers because of the internal steps and limited room for pushchair and shopping trolleys. The 396 bus route is mainly a shopping bus for Tesco Supermarket and in general it does not fit the passenger profile. Personally I like the bus and I can understand in pure customer numbers it fits the route, however the bus will be mainly used by the aformentioned people and in my mind Arriva have failed to understand their customers needs.
