cornishcarlos Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Is it just me, or is this the first time they have actually mentioned the manufacturer's name ie Scania bus... Maybe just a coincidence after Scania pulled out of the bidding for the bus contracts in Bangkok ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 You have all seen these behemoths often in convoys of up to a dozen buses packed with self-important civil servants being carried on inter-provincial fully paid seminars. They hog the overtaking lane driving over the limit intimidating other road users and often have a police car in the vanguard clearing the way. Is it any wonder they have accidents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetley Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Is it just me, or is this the first time they have actually mentioned the manufacturer's name ie Scania bus... Maybe just a coincidence after Scania pulled out of the bidding for the bus contracts in Bangkok ! The emblem may have said Scania but who knows if it was genuine? Out for a ride earlier this week I saw a bus with the Benz symbol at the front and Nissan written across the rear. Thinking about it maybe it was two halves rivetted together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
