What Happened
Three Bavarian travel operators — Prager Reisen, Weger Reisen, and Söllner Reisen — have added new Setra ComfortClass coaches to their fleets. The deliveries include various models equipped with modern safety features such as MirrorCam and 360-degree camera systems. The family-run companies operate in Freyung, Dachau, and Regensburg, respectively.
Prager Reisen took delivery of an S 515 HD and S 517 HD with 50 and 60 passenger seats respectively. The coaches will be used for premium tours and charter services. Managing Director Stefan Prager emphasized the importance of safety and comfort: 'We place great value on providing a safe and comfortable travel and driving experience for both our passengers and drivers.' The company, founded in 1970, currently operates ten Setra vehicles including MultiClass intercity buses.
Weger Reisen expanded its fleet with an S 515 HD (51 seats) and an S 516 HD (55 Ambassador seats). Both coaches feature MirrorCam for improved visibility. Junior Managing Director Antonio Simunovic acquired his first brand-new vehicle, while owner Damir Simunovic praised Daimler Buses' service network as 'exceptionally strong' and a sign of 'true premium quality.' The operator currently runs six Setra-branded vehicles.
Söllner Reisen added four ComfortClass coaches — S 515 HD, S 516 HD, and S 517 HD — along with an S 531 DT double-decker coach. The company’s distinctive color concept uses basalt gray, meteor gold, light orange, and white with a consistent diamond-pattern design. Edgar Söllner explained: 'The colors of our coaches are always different. That way, customers discover a new vehicle every time.' The family business, founded in 1959, now operates multiple Setra coaches for tours across Europe.
