Title: Duffy's City Buses, Surfside and Brisbane Bus Lines
Post by: Sir Pompously on December 18, 2008, 10:40:16 PM
Here is the second part of my small series of photos from my recent holiday to Brisbane. This set focuses on the non Brisbane Transport operators. It contains photos of Duffy's City Buses in Bundaberg, Surfside on the Gold Coast and Brisbane Bus Lines a Brisbane based operator.

Duffy's City Buses
I was in Bundaberg for almost a week, the day I set aside to get my Transport photos it decided to rain. I left Bundaberg the next day, so I couldn't try again.

Good photos there Todd! You managed to make the land of the VST slightly bearable with these photos.

Keep them coming!

Lol, I did not actually realise all but one were a VST. I have to say, I was shocked at how nice the BCI looks in BBL Livery. Bucket of crap, but looks nice.

Nice shots Todd

The surfside vehicles would look a LOT better without that rising windowline. If only the body makers felt the same way and kept all windowlines completely level...
