Daimler Buses Gets "Smart" at Its Service Centers Greensboro, N.C. (May 22, 2009) – Daimler Buses North America introduced today an exciting new program for its three company-operated service centers beginning in June 2009. Daimler Buses will begin providing smart cars for customers use while their coaches and buses are being serviced at any of the three company owned service centers in Florida, North Carolina and New Jersey. This program is unique in the industry and supports Daimler Buses’ philosophy of exceptional customer service. “smart is a brand by Daimler, and we are excited about leveraging it to support our Setra and Sprinter customers. We pride ourselves on our commitment to customer service and offering the smart car to our customers while they have service work being performed on their coaches allows them greater flexibility and convenience during visits to our service centers,” said Patrick Scully, chief commercial officer for Daimler Buses North America. “It is another example of how we seek to put our customer’s needs first.”

Looks to me like they could put davits on the back of that bus so they could have a spare. Also convenient when all set up in the RV park to scoot around in. Gee, I wonder what those busses cost?

I was told by someone last year they go for about $650,000.

That picture kinda reminds me of the original Italian Job

looks like they could have squeezed a few more smarts in the space the bus takes.

They are just respecting propper following distance protocol.

Wonder how long it will be before one of the customers decides to just drive the Smart to their final destination?

...or...

A customer sues the bus company because they were out and about and missed the bus?
