Single Decker
The single-deck OmniCity was first introduced in 1996 in left-hand drive form and in 2002 in right-hand drive for the UK market.
The earlier version of the single-deck OmniCity was known as the CN94UB. But the Euro IV version was known as the CN230UB or CN270UB, the 230 and 270 indicate the maximum power (in hp) of the engine.
Unlike the Scania L94 and OmniLink, the OmniCity features a full low floor without the need for steps or ramps to reach the rear seats, similar to the Volvo B7L.
The OmniCity is popular in several European cities, notably with SL in Stockholm, Sweden. The first right-hand drive bus entered service with Nottingham City Transport in January 2002, following conversion from left-hand drive.
In February–March 2008 Metrobus, Crawley took delivery of the first 10.7m OmniCities in the UK for the new Fastway route 100. They featured part-leather seating and only one door – most Fastway buses have two – and entered service on 10 May 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or decker:
“Think of admitting the details of a single case of the criminal court into our thoughts, to stalk profanely through their very sanctum sanctorum for an hour, ay, for many hours! to make a very barroom of the mind’s inmost apartment, as if for so long the dust of the street had occupied us,—the very street itself, with all its travel, its bustle, and filth, had passed through our thoughts’ shrine! Would it not be an intellectual and moral suicide?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I’ve always got such high expectations for myself. I’m aware of them, but I can’t relax them.”
—Mary Decker Slaney (b. 1958)
