The Scania OmniCity is an integrally-constructed transverse-engined citybus available on the Europe an market. The OmniCity is a complete product built in Poland by Scania , a company based in Sweden . SINGLE DECKER The single-deck OmniCity is a Low Floor easy access bus which was first introduced in 1996 in left hand drive form and in 2002 in right hand drive for the UK market. The first right-hand drive bus entered service in Nottingham in January 2002. The bus was converted from a left-hand drive bus by Nottingham City Transport . The OmniCity uses the CN94UB chassis or the Articulated CN94UA chassis. Unlike both the L94 and OmniLink models from Scania, the OmniCity features a full low floor without the need to use steps or ramps in order to reach the rear seats, similar to the Volvo B7L . The OmniCity is popular in several European cities, most notably Stockholm , Sweden . DOUBLE DECKER In 2005 Scania announced the introduction of the OmniCity double decker in order to complement its OmniDekka citybus sold in the UK. The OmniCity is a complete Scania product and has a full low floor, unlike the OmniDekka which features a body by East Lancashire Coachbuilders . So far the only order is 5 buses for Lothian Buses of Edinburgh , Scotland although a demonstrator has been delivered to Travel West Midlands and entered service in November 2005.
