Neoplan Centroliner
Specially design for Hong ong as a double deck WAb . big hoo haa when luanched in Hk. so big hoo haa hee

neoplan Cnetroliner / integrated
KMB Svc 269C. let's board the bus

Mid-aft to rear shot - lower deck, note heater style air-con vents

PIW area nearside between front n rear door

Upper deck

Upper deck has a biiiiiig windscreen, good front views...

me n mmy folks loved the big windscreen at upper deck. No!, not advisible to rest legs at front. dirty the area n very bad safety aspect. hahah .

Lower deck from rear to front

Manny have told me Neoplan are noisy. oddly enough this unit was dead quiet. i had to go downstair to hear engine sound properly. Zf gearnox shifts real quick and smooth. likely a 6 speed. left my frens upstair enjoy view or sleeping. cuz very quiet.

You got me drooling. Laughing

Anyway, is the front seat of the last pic cramped? Your friend looks squashed-up. Laughing

ZYX2005 SG

the dit dit (dash baord sounds like B9TL!!!) Wrightbus VSO svc 9 ride

Wrightbus gemini 2 bus. (B10TL)

lets board the bus

lots of curves

lower deck mid aft to rear. very crowded. Bbus Svc 9 duplciates MTR line from Wong tai Sin to star ferry. Runs as fast s MTR train. in my opinion.

curves at exit door area, cris cross, nice

.lot of cruves in design of Wrightbbus. Stariwell entrance at upper deck...

Mid aft upper deck to front.
Nice curves integrated to fit in the PIS (Passenger information Signage).
the red colour indicator at PIS area indicates bell is pressed for next stop.

Cute rear runded window at back. Mid aft - to rear upper deck

No luggage allowed at front place of upper deck hor.

Nice bus =)

Didn't quite seem that way leh.....the space between the seat and the dashboard looks suspiciously small. Laughing

Some Macau buses
Mostly are 10m short buses. very common in macau.

2 door Mitshubishi Rosa . these very common.

A Kia Granbird Coach spotted in Macau

Dennis Dart SLF (zero step) / Soon Chow (yes u din see wrongly)
Singaporean built and exported to macau. A bus u must take in macau. Very nice bus. Very Singaporean. our sear Soon Chow used approved desgins copyrighted from MCV. The bodywork is MCV Sterling but built by Soon Chow which is lecnsed to build MCV buses.

Sample pix of macau PIS. inside the Soon Chow (MCV Sterling) dart. erm blur.

Wu Zhong Long bus on TC Svc 10. note EDS gone.

Denis Dart / Plaxton - pointer

TCM Svc 33
I would say that Dennis Darts are common to be built in plaxton pointer bodywork in the UK. Anyhow bus has a step front and then another step to rear of bus. (See wnxt pics)

sbs&tibs SG

Nice pictures.

Although I went to HK, but missed out quite a lot from riding on different models. Stucked to Dennis Trident Alexander and DM5000 and the tram most of the time. Took an old VO3X and the SD MAN once each. Regrets...

XiaoTaro SG

Just a question, does Japan only use Japanese brands for their buses (i.e. Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Hino, Nissan etc) or do they also import foreign brands? If so, what brands?

They also have some Pink citaros... but i wasent in that region so only got a photo of a poster

mitshhubishi ??? / local bodywork?
KMB Svc 203

That's a Mitsubishi Fuso with Japanese Shin-Kureha bodywork.

Also, the HK tv mobile system is not broadcasted over the air unlike in sg, the video is playbacked on the bus itself by a recording/playback system.

Scania SG

The Mitsubishis are of MK117J/MK217J. In your photo, FG4803/Fleet no: AM133 is a MK117J

The top one is MAN NL262, and the MAN 24.310 is Kwoon Choong Motor's (a non-franchised bus company), which owns NLB.

Hong Kong buses use Alexander 'R' type body, the Royale is a variation of the R type which Singapore Bus Services specified (or maybe designed it themselves)

Scania SG

?? / Alexander ALX 500
New World First Bus Svc 796C
Taken at Mongkok area...

If you do look carefully at the fleet number above the front wheel, it says 5XXX, which means that its a B10TL. ALX 500 Tridents are in the 1XXX range.

Scania SG

Along the main road Nathan rd on Kowloon island, many bright lights.. so easy enough to shoot night shots in hong Kong

The first one is an ASV, 10.6m B10TL.

Berkhoff is a Netherlands company owned by VDL (formerlly DAF Bus)

M-Trans, SC Evolutions and SC Chivalrous are common in Hong Kong. There are also SC Classics, SC Euroclasses and SC Elites around.

SMRT BUSES LuvER SG

dunno what modle. these very common.

Is that a Mitsubishi Rosa with Mitsubishi body? This body type of the bus is common in Singapore. We can spot the buses in the SMRT's Busplus..
