They had the exact same buses on the 404, 463 and possibly s4 bus and I used to go on them on the 463 a lot as a child. I remember this model k5 version looks exactly the same as the real ones on the 463 that I remember well.
I know i dont travel on differen buses but i love all style of them and they are ❤ great to see all whengoing past 😮 each other never miss and want those models too❤
I wonder if you're aware of Japanese bus conversions? These are already short wheelbase buses that been cut to be even shorter. It's usually Toyota Coasters that's shortened to about 5.35M to 5.5M. Most of the time, their interiors are converted into a camper but in some cases, they're still civilian buses. They already have those even back in the mid 90's.
I agree with your opinions . I find the new liveries the logos more boring . I like the old styles on the original logos much better . I like the logos and colours much better on the old liveries.
