Enviro500 North America (1)

The Enviro500 is the world’s best-selling three-axle double deck bus.

Accommodating over 80 seated passengers in supreme comfort, the Alexander Dennis Enviro500 for the United States and Canada is the ideal solution for carrying large numbers of riders on transit, commuter or tourist routes while occupying a smaller roadspace.

Access is unbeatable with wide opening doors and an obstruction-free, flat floor interior which provides two wheelchair spaces. Reaching the upper deck is via a wide and well-lit staircase with appropriately positioned handrails that maximize safety.

The Enviro500 also operates in Mexico where it forms part of the Metrobús bus rapid transit system in Mexico City.
