Troleibuzul (ex-autobuzul) "Saurer" #5005 (ex-#469) pe linia 74,la captul de linie
"Bd. Alexabdru Obregia/Platforma Metalurgiei".
Vehiculul a fost fabricat īn 1968 _i convertit īn troleibuz īn anul 1995.
Pe acoperi_ pot observa 2 guri de admisie, folosite pe vremea cānd acest troleibuz era autobuz.
Bucure_tiul nu a fost singurul ora_ din Romānia care a avut autobuze "Saurer"; _i  Ia_iul
a avut de asemena acest tip de autobuze, dar le-a casat.
Inicial, īn Bucure_ti. troleibuzele "Saurer" au circulat pe linii centrale sau semicentrale,
precum 61, 62, 69, 71, 91, 93, 96 (_i erau garate la Depoul "Bujoreni"), dar odat cu
aparacia troleibuzelor "Astra-Ikarus" 415T (īn 1997),au fost exilate īn Cartierul Berceni
din sudul Bucure_tiului, pentru a cirula pe liniile 73 _i 74 (uneori _i pe linia 76); una dintre
cosecincele acestei exilri o reprezint faptul c acum aceste troleibuze au parte de o
calitate inferioar a īntrecinerii (deh, nu mai circul pe liniile centrale/semicentrale).

#5005 (ex-#469) "Saurer" trolleybus (ex-bus), manufactured in 1968 and converted into a
trolleybus in 1995 at "Bd. Alexandru Obregia/Platforma Metalurgiei" end of line. The vihecle
was manufactured in 1968 and converted into a trolleybus in the year 1995. In the roof
you can notice 2 air intakers, used when the trolleybus was a bus; Bucharest wasn't the
only city in Romania to have "Saurer" buses; Iashi also had this type of buses, but scraped
them.
Initially, in Bucharest, the "Saurer" trolleybuses runed on central/semicentral lines, like
61, 62, 69, 71, 91, 93, 96 (and they where holed at "Bujoreni" Depot), but with the ariaval
of the "Astra-Ikarus" T415 trolleybuses (in 1997), they where exieled in Berceni neiberghood,
in the South Side of Bucharest; one of this consecunces of this exile is the fact that the
qaulty of mantinence of these trolleybuses droped (eh, they are not runing on central/
semicentral lines any longer)
