Question: what's the maker of the articulated bus? That looks really nice indeed! Simply love the Niteroi bus too...

Those Neobus articulated buses look really sharp and wonderful, perfect for high-density bus lines, and those look similar to what I've seen in Las Vegas, called the Iris Bus.

That's a Wright StreetCar RTV.The Irisbus Civis (an unrelated model from a different manufacturer) is also used in Las Vegas. |

I didn't know what bus brand it was. Thanks for clarifying. I even have mistaken it for a bus when it looks like, in your opinion, a LRV!I didn't see any Irisbus Civis on my visit... perhaps because it is used on a different bus line.

Those Van Hool AG300 buses look nearly identical to the AC Transit buses I see here in the Bay Area... I will post them as a group.

I wonder how many transit agencies in NA have Van Hools in their fleets? I know Viva, RTL (Longueuil, QC), UTA (Salt Lake City), and AC have some.
Also, AC needs a new livery. :P |

How come? AC Transit has had that livery for some time now... Some of its buses have an even older livery. Let me show you:Old livery (all non-Van Hool): ![]() ![]() New livery, non-Van Hool: ![]() ![]() Transbay livery (MCI D4500): ![]()

Man, China has indeed become the world's factory, with those double-decker buses! Looks decent to me.

So far they are OK. The City of Skopje currently has a total of 202 double-decker buses. Those 79 are part of the last shipment from China. The rest are already in use one or two years.

Ah OK. Are those used also on "Owl" (all-night) routes too around Skopje? Looks like those are a good bus type to use for the all nighters.
