Actually the new SBST livery is quite stylish. Looks much better than the previous one.Originally posted by cck_190:For me, I like SBST's livery as it is much more livelier than Tibs's. It makes old buses look new. 1 disadvantage over the new livery is that they have no more dedicated liveries for the superbuses.
TIBS is boring, because it's all orange-based.Originally posted by leeJZ:Yes the old SBS livery made the buses look ancient...very boring red and white.
TIBS livery is rather bland also, I only like it on Habits.
One thing bad about the new livery is that it does not have a dedicated version for the SuperbusesOriginally posted by SBS9818A:Actually the new SBST livery is quite stylish. Looks much better than the previous one.
What do you mean by "does not have a dedicated version for the Superbuses"? IMO, the livery was created with the Superbuses in mind. The livery for the single-deckers is variable, such as too much purple etc.Originally posted by cck_190:One thing bad about the new livery is that it does not have a dedicated version for the Superbuses
When the Superbus came out in 1993, they had their own livery which was different from the conventional double-decks (Although the one which was built in Falkirk came painted in the normal design.) 997A (Super-Long Bus) had its own design and so did 998Y and 999U (the 2 Bendys). Even 9888Y and the Tridents have their own design. This was not the first time a different livery was used on 'special' buses. Back in 1980, the Leyland Leopard and Leyland Olympian demo buses had a special beige livery with the old SBS logo and pink over red stripes. The Metsec bodied MB OF1413, when it first came out, had its top half painted white and the bottom half red.Originally posted by cck_190:What I mean is that before the name SBS Transit was out, Superbus had their own livery, with the Superbus logo. Now, the dds are not even called Superbus
I beg to differ. Somehow the new livery was created for the double-decks, as the colours are more proportionate than that of single decks.Originally posted by cck_190:One thing bad about the new livery is that it does not have a dedicated version for the Superbuses
