garco ◊ 2006-09-17 11:28	I have mailed a Mexican bus expert: Mexican bus-expert wrote The second is a S-500 made by Mexicana de Autobuses S.A. MASA (Mexican Buses). Both were of the "Ruta 100" (Route 100) company operated by the Mexico City government See this one: /vehicle.php?id=47071 So it would be Masa S-500.

owlman ◊ 2010-12-25 18:39	Is the full name of the company MASA-Somex? (you can see the "Somex" script on the front of this one) Or is that name the result of a merger? i.e. were there MASA buses MASA-Somex buses at different times? Maybe Garco's bus expert knows -- Last edit: 2010-12-25 18:42:50
