Brisbane Transport Volvo B10L #547 has changed from the TransLink bus to the Brisbane Transport Safety Bus.
Here is 2 photos of it in the current livery as the Safety Bus.

No offence to anyone, but that livery looks awful!

Cheers!

It isn't used in service.
All it is now is a "Promotional Bus".
Hopefully 'maladjusted' or one of the other BT drivers that are members can explain exactly what the bus is used for.
Yes we know "safety" but what exactly about safety?

It looks very good, different and it stands out. I think they have done a good job with its new makeover, It looks like it has a roll out awning on the near side aswell which is good. All it needs is a set of Alcoas on her that would finish it off. Job well done.

It was on its first display where it has been parked in the city. It was until Tuesday afternoon previously at Sherwood, where I had photograped it a couple of weeks ago. The wrap was applied earlier this year. It has a drivers steering wheel, and dashboard from the Drivers Training school in the rear.

Maybe they were using the bus for training the drivers with video footage of the Northern Busway just like a version of grand theft auto.

Very appealing, nicely done and best of all, its about the best thing they called do to a lemon (sorry, mean B10L).

The 'Dot grafix' that Cordes Express means 'one-way vision', expensive as all hell.

Wonder how passengers feel knowing a extra low floor could be in service while they get left behind at the bus stop... :roll: :P

Have to say, that AoA looks very good on a B10Lemon, also good to see it out and about more than the days when it was in the TL Go Card AoA
