Because they are not "technology advanced"

I heard that the red front was only intended for buses delivered new to Adelaide Metro...

Simple indicator fault, was back out on the road not long after.

It shouldn't be showing via Stonehouse Avenue at that stage of its journey anyway: well into the city by then.

I saw it today

on North Terrace at 1:15pm, turning left into Pulteney Street. Looks like a SouthLink Hills bus from the back. Looks odd with Admet logo between the two badges.

I would like to know why the new scanias have red fronts and the 1301 volvo has a yellow one ...Is it not that the new ones are to be red fronts

MAN_LOVER · Post by **MAN_LOVER** » Sun Sep 09, 2012 10:31 pm

The fact a bus smells new with scratch free windows should be enough to alert anyone to a new bus.... and probably more likely to do so than this silly red front idea!

Post by **busrider** » Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:27 am

Actually, the thing that most regular passengers seem to notice about the CB80s is the round shaped wireless next stop button, and the squeaky noise it makes...

Yeah with the 5 more 1302-1306 to enter service.

Saw this one tonight on an H30. Very smart looking bus!

Whyalla · Post by **Whyalla** » Thu Sep 13, 2012 7:31 pm

I actually went on this bus recently. Has unusual seats, orange railings and even a cord for the 'Bus Stopping' sign (similar to the ones on the Merc O305s).

They are a lot newer then a large amount of the ones we have here

And "here" is where?

Apparently #1302 has no red diagonal or blue triangle on both sides
