Looks like a $400000 bus that has little presence. Here is one of Sita's buses that owe them next to nothing and look just as good from a public's point of view in my eyes. :shock:

Also I know it's just a demo, but is it legal to run a passenger bus for profit on standard Victorian number plates regardless to the fact that its on loan :?:

I believe You can run the bus that way.
The operators Accreditation number must be displayed to identify who is actually operating the bus, and is responsible for the maintenance etc.

You do not need to display an accreditation number if the vehicle has Accredited Bus plates, as these will relate to the operator of the bus.

i.e. You can't register a bus with these plates 'AO' or "BS" if you can't prove that you are an Accredited Operator.
