It can also be equipped with stop buttons, ticket validators and wind flags. This line version was the successor to the Line Tracer and was replaced by the Irisbus Arway and the Crossway.
Ares d'excursion
This version is far less common than the long-distance transport model and is mainly used for short trips or to reinforce long-distance transport routes. It is not used for tourism as it is less comfortable than a Renault Iliade , for example . Like the line version, the Ares d'excursion was optionally delivered with reclining seats, curtains, ventilation openings and lighting. It is also equipped with an extra seat, microphone, television, refrigerator and air conditioning, and toilets were optionally available. The predecessor was the Tour Tracer and the successor to the Irisbus Evadys .
Ares scolaire
The simplified version was introduced as a school version under the name scolaire . On this model, the seats were not adjustable and there was no curtain. The doors were mostly double-leafed, which were identical to the tracer . In addition, door warnings (activation of the hazard warning lights when the doors are open) and "school bus" signs have been added. It was only available in the 12 m version with automatic transmission. It was the successor to the Liberto Tracer and was replaced by the Irisbus New Récréo . A similar model was the Récréo (C 955) .
