==Skopje City Master== {{main|Yutong City Master}} In 2010, the government of [[North Macedonia|the Republic of Macedonia]] ordered 202 double-decker buses from the Chinese manufacturer [[Yutong]], two of which were cabriolet buses with removable roofs to be used by tourists, and the remaining 200 as city buses for the capital city of [[Skopje]]. The buses were to be in a "retro" style, similar to Routemasters. Former London double-deckers were used in Skopje until the [[1963 Skopje earthquake]] in which 75%β80% of the city's infrastructure was destroyed. The prototype bus appeared on the streets of Skopje on 1 March 2011.<ref>[http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110302/world/world-briefs.352726 Double decker buses for Skopje] ''Times of Malta'' 2 March 2011</ref> The first cabriolet buses (with removable roofs) and 65 city buses entered service on 6 September 2011, all under the name City Master.<ref>[https://www.standard.co.uk/news/spirit-of-the-routemaster-lives-on-in-the-heart-of-macedonia-6532938.html Spirit of the Routemaster lives on in the heart of Macedonia] ''Evening Standard'' 5 November 2010</ref> The rest of the buses, as well as another 15 cabriolet buses ordered in late 2011, were due to arrive by the end of 2013.
