Scania Touring buses herald Cagsawa’s Manila-to-Bicol trips
BJ MERCANTILE, INC., the exclusive distributor of Scania in the country, recently turned over four Scania Touring buses to Cagsawa Travel and Tours, Inc. The Swedish-built Scania Touring features an electronically controlled air suspension, thick body insulators for better noise canceling, enclosed overhead luggage compartments like those found in commercial airplanes, and USB charging slots in every seat.
“To bolster our claim of providing the most spacious cabins, we reduced the number of seats of the standard Scania Touring from 51 to 38 and adopted a two-plus-two seating configuration to offer even better elbow space and legroom,” said Cagsawa Travel and Tours, Inc. Director and Operations Manager William Rogando. “Our drivers are also well-rested as they have very comfortable private sleeping quarters at the back of the bus.”
The Scania Touring buses promise to deliver fuel economy, energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and superior uptime. They are also equipped with the latest technology to enhance the safety of passengers and other motorists. Standard safety features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Speed Limiter, Traction Control, Driving Mode (economy and standard), Hill Hold, and Auxiliary Brakes (retarder). Other functions that can be added to further support the driver whether they are on the open highway or in busy city environments are Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assistance, and Blind Spot Warning.
“We are 100% committed to support Cagsawa Travel and Tours to provide the best riding experience for those shuttling between Manila and the Bicol region,” said BJ Mercantile, Inc. Sales Manager Don Ramos. “Through our fleet management system, we can help monitor driving performance, vehicle data and fleet position, thereby giving bus operators all the information they need to achieve operational excellence.”
The Scania Touring buses of Cagsawa Travel and Tours are already being used in service and the reception from passengers has been very positive.
