(NZ) The Yellow Bus Company

[mmtranz2002]

Hi there, I am hoping that some of you guys may be able to help me out. I am looking for photos of the Auckland City buses from before Stagecoach Ownership. back when they were called either:
THE YELLOW BUS COMPANY or AUCKLAND REGIONAL AUTHORITY.
Unfortunately I was growing up in New Plymouth when they were the ARA and I was living in Featherston & Wellington while they were Yellow buses.

If you are able to help out please either contact me here or via my other mailbox at maznmike@xtra.co.nz

Cheers
Mikey

I took this shot in Auckland in 1994 of MANSL200 1657 on Customs Street: -



I have a handful of others from this trip, and also 5 years later after Stagecoach take over, even though most vehicles were still in yellow at that time.

Cheers...

What is 1756 doing with that suction thing on the front door?

[Cordes Express]

While the bus is being refuelled, the cleaner entered thru the rear door to blast everything toward the front of the bus with an air hose collected to a compressor. Everything that is sent forward is collected by the huge suction unit.
