Why this matters
The delivery adds four comfort-focused coaches to EGA's fleet for long-distance services in Uruguay. It also illustrates how Busscar tailors export vehicles to each operator's service, which the company says requires attention to each client's particularities. Passengers on EGA's long-distance routes are the ones who feel the difference.
