"Sydney Buses" is no longer as a bus operator - That is now just known as State Transit and the one on route 412 is a Transit Systems one.

Thanks for the update about Sydney Buses, I had not realized they stopped using "Sydney Buses".

Yes correct, the one on the 412 is a Transit Systems bus, that is what it is tagged as.

I agree with the comment "Menulog monstrosity" - contavision is a total abomination both from an appearance aspect and also visually. On a wet night, windows covered in that material become almost opaque. Singapore has vastly reduced the allowed area of contravision and removed it completely from the top front window of double deckers.

In Adelaide, most of the trams are adorned with ugly and generally crude (in appearance) overall advertising, including the windows. We appreciate supplementing revenue is important, but other places manage to restrict advertising to reasonable levels.

I utterly loath the television campaign with that "menulog" jingle sung like a rap song chorus.
That aoa is a disgrace with the complete absence of windows.
We have an entrenched money hungry culture in this state, together with apathy where people resign to being trampled on by the corporate sector. It won't change here.

Way to take a perfectly good bus and ruin it (RE: MAN 12.220). I agree with the others that the AOA is just horrid & doesn't suit the bus. Not sure if I was the owner of a bus company I'd want my entire bus to be a massive ugly eyesore moving billboard but okay. On the other hand I just can't get enough of the ex Transdev O405NH's in the former Smartbus livery, I love it.

I deeply disapprove of the silver.
