I guess the release of these has been plodding along as I have witnessed quite a few running around.
Good to get shots of them when new and I really appreciate you taking the time to post these shots.

Yeah, now that's what a bus should look like. I like the Optimus, would like to see some come to Adelaide.

It looks great! Would love to see some with either BT or some private Operators (E.g. Logan City Bus Service). Surprised that TransPerth still stick to the green destination signs though, given the much newer and brighter white or orange signs now available.
Still waiting for a MAN SL200 to catch to school. Might be waiting a while....

It would be great if Transperth tried the white LED desto. Looks good on the BT buses

Could be a cost factor and probably is I reckon

Have any B12's been transferred out of Malaga yet, actually?
