Mercedes-Benz 815D / Irmãos Mota Atomic Mini URB #705
7 august 2007 - Another photo taken at Azenhas do Mar, now with a diferent bus and also another route, the 440. The routes 440 and 441, both serve Azenhas do Mar, from Portela de Sintra, but taking diferent ways to get there. The 440 is a shorter route, ins distance and passangers, so most of the times we use small buses, like this MB O815, bodyed by Irmãos Mota. It's prepared to acommodate a whellchair! The restaurant in the background had just been closed. Untill this day... Will it be forever ?

MAN 14.240 #536
30 november 2008 - One of the 2 variants of the 14.240 chassis. This one is the shorter one. This bus, alongside with #534, #535, #537, #538 and #539, were design in order to fill up the needs for the 434 route, Pena Sightseeing, replacing the good and brave, but old, DAF's. But this doesn't mean that they can't do any other route. Seen here at Almoçageme, an old village stuck beetween the moutain and the sea, doing route 439 (a route hated by many anda very challenging whem done by a standart size bus...). These bus offer the possibility to raise the suspension, in order to overcome some obstacules.

MAN 12.240 HOCL-NL / Irmãos Mota Atomic Midi UR2007 #524
2008 - MAN 12.240 chassis under Irmãos Mota Midi Atomic UR 2007 body. This model is very inspired by the MAN's Lions City model. Seen here arriving to it's final destination at Chão de Meninos (a Sintra suburb) at the main square. The route is 433 - Sintraline. In the past this route was done by 2 Mercedes O520, very unapropiated for this route, wicg requires power and a lot of traction. Things absent on the O520... :P
