The buses 5741, 5745 and 5748 had been in storage since December 10, 2023, when the concession IJsselmond, operated by OV Regio IJsselmd, a Connexxion/Transdev company, was transferred to EBS. They were put into service in the Gooi and Vechtstreek concession after the Christmas holidays, on January 8, 2024, because of a shortage of buses.
