Re: What are the bestest Buses (still exist today) have you
The bestest buses you have ever been on in Transperth Days. 1565 is the best when it takes off. 1572 can do Freeway speed. 1548 can do just under 100km/h. Ive been on those buses alot. 1565 is the best bus ive ever been in, i'll have to take a recording of it.

Re: What are the bestest Buses (still exist today) have you
I'm no expert on bus numbers but the best buses I've been on are the old 867 route (Perth to Mandurah) coaches..soo confortable those seats were.
The TP 3001, only rode on it once while doing a special shuttle service from Belmont Park to Burswood dome during a 'Green day' concert from '09'

Re: What are the bestest Buses (still exist today) have you
IMHO theres only one bus that could bo called the " Pride of the Fleet" to ride & drive in ,and that well constucted noise free smooth riding bus is 3001 ofcorse. And after 3 years still has a hint of that new bus smell .
Its a shame we did'nt get more units of this MAN bus .

Re: What are the bestest Buses (still exist today) have you
I think the bestest buses I roded on Transperth routes services were 1080 (Renault PR100.2), 1521 (O405NH) and a few OC500LEs, I can't remember what numbers they were, but I enjoyed them all the same...

yep, absolutely goddamn right by concensus ... but it's a freak of nature , designed to fulfill a purpose that never came to fruition.
