bus and truck pictures

[Robby nz]

Have always been fascinated by the great pictures they put on some of the buses and also some trucks.

Thought It might be worth a topic.

You know these aren't really buses?

They look like buses but actually their design and construction are closer to the origins of a horse drawn wooden carriage.

Fibreglass and timber boards are shaped and formed to look like a bus. Seats are then fitted.

The art can be percieved as a distraction, to mislead travellers into thinking the vehicle is properly maintained and secure.

You cannot maintain the safety features of something when safety features are not part of the original design.

This traingle design, connecting the truck with it's hanger combined with the insertion mouthpiece have been tested, approved and used worldwide.

The compressed air supply, electricity lines and break line are visible for inspection and testing.

Do you have some pics on Thai trucks, seedy? ¬ pintle hitch - draggin' a wagon. I'll remember that one.

My life and work revolves around the street. I need to be on the street. Thanks for educating me on Canadian truckers slang.

This a beauty
