That M-B 'O 404' looks rather suspicious to me !
Because the front wheel-rims doesn't look like it's an O 404 & real O 404 should not have any grill on the right just behind the front wheels. Also the headlampset not the original O 404 Xenon beam types.
My conclusion is that that's not an O 404 but only some OH series chassi with seperate engine for air-con, which should explain the presence of the grill on the right behind the front wheels.
But i do suspect in Thailand there's some quite real looking O 404 even O 404 DD (double-decker coaches) but turns out to be a fake as they tend to use Nissan Diesel chassi only.Originally posted by 105090:Bangkok Bendy Bus

If you looked at the window of the Driver's Cabin, the white words are ""MB 0 404"", and the Mercedes Benz at the side sort of confirm its identity.., but then, i suspect theres some meddling with the parts to form a "hybrid" as said.Originally posted by hseochin:That M-B 'O 404' looks rather suspicious to me !

As iveco mentioned, the rear engine cover....also, the grabpoles are orange in colourOriginally posted by phillipC:How to tell the differences?
Besides the registration plates, any prominent trademark anoot?
(unlike its Hino and MB counterpart which are the common silverish colour...)
Also, there is no badge on the bus.
The sound is also different (duhh!)
Uses LED back rego
For MB and Hino
Wheels
Height of the back seats {Hino back seats are higher}
Badge and sound of course -

Excuse me, but for the 1st photo, how come you could get onto the Benjamin Sheares Bridge to take that photo?Originally posted by SBS3688Y: -
There's pedestrian path next to the expressway, on both sides. Access from Temasek Ave opp Centennial Tower, Marina South City Park or Tanjong Rhu near Rhu Cross. Note that cannot acess from Tanjong Rhu to Marina South or vice-versa unless you climb over the low wall and cross the slip road leading to/from Rochor/Ophir Rd. This bridge is a hotspot on National Day to watch fireworks at Marina Bay.Originally posted by SGEMP:Excuse me, but for the 1st photo, how come you could get onto the Benjamin Sheares Bridge to take that photo? -
