Hello. First i want to say i'm sorry but i'm not a french speaker so my posts are going to be in english.
Public transport in Cluj-Napoca is half made with vehicles from Paris. (talking about buses, trams are not included here) We have 61 Renault R312 (were 63 in the past, but no. 354 (ex-5923) had a serious crash few years ago,and bus no. 487 [ex-6181] is missing... nobody saw him for few months and some say it's burnt), 10 Renault Agora S,38 Renault Agora L, 10 Irisbus Agora L and one piece of Renault SC10 still alive (no. 289)[don't know ex-RATP number]! I'll try to also give them ex-RATP numbers.

Il y a un problème avec les images Facebook (fbcdn) qui ne s'affichent pas à l'aide du BBcode parce qu'elles sont privées et que leur URL contient des paramètres (permissions ?).
Par contre on peut les voir avec un lien ordinaire

https://scontent-frt3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/16904740_240228083052814_5105002589525388542_o.jpg?oh=df87a43b57ddba619baa08850505eba2&oe=59999B7C

Images from Facebook are not displayed by BBcode because they are private and their URL have parameters. But it works with a normal link.

All is OK now. Many thanks.

Pour ceux qui ne lisent pas l'anglais, le plus extraordinaire est la transformation d'Agora L ex RATP en trolleybus (visiblement faite par Astra Bus qui fait partie du groupe Iveco). Le plus curieux c'est que certains ont conservé leurs supports de bandeaux caractéristiques mais ont été rénovés avec une nouvelle sellerie, des girouettes à diodes et une livrée blanche.

On remarquera aussi que les Agora (S et L) non transformés ont reçu à leur arrivée une girouette de destination à film, comme celle des R312.

Many thanks for these pictures. When I see some photos from our old buses in Cluj, I'm always amazed by the excellent conditions they are after many years, in spite of an heavy use. Very good repair and cleanliness. Congratulation to RATUC !

J"ai augmenté la taille de base des videos affichées par l'intermédiaire de la balide video.

Pour pouvoir passer en plein écran, il faut forcer le lecteur flash (au lieu de l'HTML5 utilisé par youtube).

En ce qui concerne firefox, il faut installer l'extension flash video player

There's more pictures to come.
I will ask a friend if he can post his collection. He has a lot of photos with them,even with the Renault SC10 that have been running in Cluj until 2015.

Thank you, very well, very beautiful pictures.
Mon anglais est limité, j'ai bien apprécié l' Agora L, ex RATP, transformé en trolley, si j'ai bien compris. On devrait faire pareil, the same thing, on 31, 91, 258, etc............ on the lines of Paris.
