Ötztürk seal the purchase of 50 Setra
ComfortClass 400 coaches
Established in 1992 by Galip Ötztürk, Metro
cooperates with subcontractors on the long-
distance routes that are so popular in Turkey. Its
fleet covers 73 of the country’s 81 provinces.
Having added a total of 40 double-decker S 431
DT coaches to its fleet from 2008 to 2009, the
latest order represents a further milestone for the
company. The 50 S 416 GT-HD/2 coaches will be
Metro’s first from the new Setra ComfortClass
400. The vehicles from this facelifted model series
are equipped with Front Collision Guard (FCG)
impact protection and can accommodate 50
passengers.
Luxury coaches provided by the Ulm-based
Daimler bus and coach brand have been
travelling on Turkish roads for 27 years now. In
the gateway to the Orient, the new Setra
TopClass 400 and new Setra ComfortClass 400
coaches are predominately used on long-distance
routes in the luxury segment.
