vivablue5215 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Looks like a small private bus company in Markham purchased one of AZ Bus Tours's Prevost units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVTArider Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Sorry these are a couple weeks old now, but here are some spottings from along a trip to Rochester, NY earlier this month: EAC Temsa in Schaumburg, IL Downtown Rochester had some sort of event: Two different Trailways in PA: And a couple by the hotel in Schaumburg, IL, and Cavalier D's in Tomah, WI on the way back: Also, special thanks goes to the folks at Van Galder Bus Company for a tour of their facility. There are some coach photos from there in my photostream as well, starting here and going back to here if anyone's interested. Just came back from a 13 day European tour with Charming Holidays and we rode aboard a Trafalgar bus operated by SEAT of Tricase - Lecce, IT via an arrangement worked out with Tralfagar. Below are pictures shown of the bus, a Scania Irizar i6: Wow, that is a nice looking coach! I certainly see why folks dislike the bland offerings of the North American motorcoach manufacturer market when comparing to international models.

Prevost Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Wow, that is a nice looking coach! I certainly see why folks dislike the bland offerings of the North American motorcoach manufacturer market when comparing to international models. Thanks! I was quite amazed at how the luggage bay doors on the Scania Irizar i6 opened and closed automatically, mainly due to the reason I guess because I haven't seen this in North American buses before. On another note, I think it is a great idea for buses to have a back door for entry/exit to facilitate quicker loading/off loading of passengers. Below are pictures of 2 different (but look exactly identical on the outside) P & J Ellis Volvo B11R coaches we rode on in London. One was used for picking us up from the train station in London and the other one was used for our London day tour the following day: Since I did not notice any fleet numbers, I used the license plate numbers to differentiate the coaches. It seems to be quite common for European coaches not to have fleet numbers, does anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, I think it is a great idea for buses to have a back door for entry/exit to facilitate quicker loading/off loading of passengers. Wow, automatic, that's really cool. I've never seen that here. I've only seen one operator with rear doors on coaches, apparently Progressive used to run some with rear doors, all I've seen from them as of late though is T series: http://progressivetravel.org/motorcoach_charters.php?section=Our_Fleet Since I did not notice any fleet numbers, I used the license plate numbers to differentiate the coaches. It seems to be quite common for European coaches not to have fleet numbers, does anyone know why? I've noticed that as well with European transit fleets. Even ones with unit numbers often get noted as X Operator [Plate] in descriptions on Flickr by transitfans vs. the unit. I assume it has something to do with European plates actually being readable from a distance, and perhaps different regulations? In North America are there requirements with some of the associations such as IMG or ABA that buses need to carry visible fleet numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVTArider Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 MN State Fair spottings at the Fair transit center today: Also seen were a few Kobussen Trailways E or J series, 2 Lorenz 102-D3, HOLT C2045, and a couple newer MN Coaches - Voyager J4500 working some sort of private shuttle to a different lot. I saw the Lorenz TS-35 as well, it looked like they added a fleet number (40001?) over the door, but I couldn't get a clear look at the exact number. I don't know if the Lorenz MC units are still active or not. They always ran them on shuttles serving the Snelling entrance, but I didn't get over there today.
