Ventura Bus in Melbourne.

 

MAN chassis, Designline body. The New Zealanders make god awful ugly bus bodies there's a lot of rattling too, which can get veeery annoying.

 

MAN 16.240 Designline Orbitor (I think)

 

 

Another sh*tbox from New Zealand. A hybrid-diesel. Designline Hybrid.

 

 

A Volvo (B7RLE) with a Volgren body, which is Australian built, almost no rattling the same bodies are also built in Malaysia and in the UAE if the Melbourne factory is too busy.

 

 

A lot of Ventura depots are now operating the Volvo B7RLE with a new Volgren body called the Optimus.

 

 

Transdev Melbourne. A French company who came to Melbourne in 2013. Promised to do a good job. Lol what? What good job? Late buses, graffiti ridden, altered destination sign layout that makes it hard to read sometimes (example image below)

More Aussie buses. Westrans in Melbourne's western suburbs is my local company. They're currently in the process of changing their name to CDC Melbourne.

 

 

And yes, both photos are mine.

Here is a splurge of buses from the Translink Fleet here in Northern Ireland. The blue and white buses are Ulster Buses while the pink and white are Metro Buses (formally City Bus) found in Belfast city. Some of these buses are also recognisable in Dublin and in Scotland for their daily service across the sea.

 

First image is a bit of whimsey to show the means by which broken down buses largely recovered and mended in Northern Ireland

Definitely wasn't expecting a thread about buses.

Here are some Norwich buses. I use them occasionally. The fares are getting more expensive all the time!

Out of curiousity but how many national bus companies does everyones respective countries operate?

Small question, how many countries has a wrightbus (above grill is the biggest (if not the only) giveaway)? I ask this as a bit of national pride and because I'm curous as to the global spread of particular bus brands.
