First pictogram (from left to right) is 'public' third is 'small'. That's all I know. -- Last edit: 2014-09-21 21:01:38 |

It looks very much like an american bus repainted and disguised as a Hong Kong bus. |

Apart from anything else, the door is on the wrong side. The IMDB estimates the film's budget was $210 million, so it's not as if they couldn't afford to buy a bus in Hong Kong and ship it over. |

You can't really expect accurate authenticity when it comes to a Michael Bay movie. |

I think the producers can purchase a second-hand Toyota Coaster from Hong Kong......Some of the Toyota Coaster is nearly 20-years-old, so the price will be very cheap. |

I agree with you. Perhaps my grammar was unclear. They can afford to ship vehicles from Hong Kong. They just didn't think of it. |

Usually when making Hong Kong picture, the following vehicles are required: * Toyota Coaster bus, * Toyota Comfort taxi, * Toyota HiAce van, * Isuzu Elf / Hino 300 / Hino 500 trucks; * Toyota Corolla / Honda Civic / Honda Accord / Nissan Elgrand, & other Japanese cars. For non-japanese, that's enough to use Benz, BMW, and VW Golf. |

Public vehicles (minibus,double deckers etc.) are usually retired vehicles rent from scrapyards. Usually driven using trade plate or tow back to scrapyards after film purpose. -- Last edit: 2014-09-23 14:34:24 |

American bus and traditional chinese. Very taiwanish... lol |

something you should correct from now on. There is only Isuzu Elf within Japan territories. All export edition is called Isuzu N series unless there are hints proved any vehicles are exported from Japan second hand. -- Last edit: 2014-09-23 15:13:13 |

The main picture looks realistic (enough) to me. I guess this front view is CGI. -- Last edit: 2014-09-24 04:15:29 |

More formal to call as Elf, and, Hong Kong vehicle culture is deeply & closely related with Japan. A lot of vehicles are second-hand from Japan. |

Maybe it did a pirouette or something like that. .gif ":)") |

Are you getting old? It doenst matter how ofen you turn around the bus, the door will always keep on the same (wrong) side. On Left-hand traffic countries the bus door would be on the left. -- Last edit: 2014-09-29 16:56:11 |

Oh man, I'm going to be 15 in 12 days....where did the time go? |

Is that a quote, or a fact? |
|
◊ 2014-09-29 17:07 |
A fact. Check my profile... |

I congratulate you upon your excellent English. I do not think that my German and French were that good at 15, and they certainly aren't now, 51 years later. |

I therefore double my congratulations on overcoming such a difficulty. |

Usually chassis are originally export edition. The cab badged as ELF are re-cabed trucks where only the cab is from Japan but the chassis is still N series not ELF. Brand new ELF is not possible in HK. -- Last edit: 2014-10-12 14:29:36 |

It's an actual bus, not CGI. Pulled these from the special features that shows the front.![[Image: image.66.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/19541/image.66.jpg) ![[Image: image.67.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/19541/image.67.jpg) |
