IRT_BMT_IND ◊ 2006-05-27 03:50	When I was in Cuba i saw tons of buses that looked like this. I can't recall the manufacturer, but I think it was Dutch.

IRT_BMT_IND ◊ 2006-06-16 03:32	/vehicle_34944-MCW-Metroliner.html Compare it with this bus. The front end looks similar. Maybe it's an MCW.
Citsa ◊ 2007-05-10 03:36	This bus could be built by quite a number of the roughly 80 bus body manufacturers in ZA (who all use quite a variety of rolling chassis from different suppliers to base their buses on). This one could be built by De Haan's (the oldest of and one of the bigger bus body builders - http://www.dehaans.co.za/history.asp), looking at the general appearance. The front end still beats me, I have seen it before and it is from one of the European manufacturers e.g. DAF, ERF, etc. (so Dutch could be right), but could not yet identify it.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2007-05-10 13:09	Are there really eighty coachbuilders in South Africa or are you exaggerating?
Citsa ◊ 2007-05-15 21:55	Gag - hard to believe, 80 is the number given on the site of the professional body for coach builders - will see if I can find the link again and post it here.

Dr Rick ◊ 2009-05-24 02:28	The front makes me think of Van Hool...
JohnV ◊ 2013-03-03 19:07	There were some 35 bodybuilders around Durban owned by people of Indian descend. And then there were a dozen or two scattered around the country. Most are probably gone as the SA bus market was reduced to some 350 vehicles a year after apartheid ended and people moved to cities, bought more cars and (violent) competition from minibus owners increased. The bus in this shot had PUTCO bodywork of around 1990. PUTCO was the large transporter for black workers and had a very large fleet (a.o. FIAT, MAN) building its own bodywork in three factories. The picture shows a similar vehicle seen in Johannesburg in 1994.
venkatesh ◊ 2014-11-22 12:13	The image from above post looks like both share the same coach design. Maybe the film crew used an old Putco bus.
