State Transit Authority Volvo B12BLEA articulated 1713 in all over livery for PrePay. The bus has a body built by Custom Coaches in June 2006 and shows Route 568 School and is in the turning loop at Valentia Street Wharf, Woolwich, on Sydney, Sydney, N.S.W. Australia.
The famous harbour and the City of Sydney appear in the background.
The bus is on a school special trip. Seventeen buses are needed for the schools in the area each afternoon. Each bus has to go beyond the schools and turn in the special bus turning area. Woolwich is on a peninsula and there there is no other place to turn a bus.
Ferries operate on the harbour linking Circular Quay in Sydney with this wharf and other wharves along the way to Woolwich.
The bus is one of four out of 80 articulated vehicles in a special all over colour scheme advertising prepay services. All buses are driver only operated and the introduction of the prepay concept is being done to speed up services. Some services are fully prepay meaning that you have to have a ticket already before getting on the bus. No ticket means no travelling on the bus.

In 1983 this extremely rare Albion Model 80 ex m/o 1187 was purchased for restoration. The bus is now restored and located in the Sydney Bus and Truck Museum at Leichhardt in suburban Sydney, Australia.
The bus is shown here in a storage yard at Moe, Victoria, Australia. A day later the bus was towed to Sydney a distance of at least 1100 kilometres or 700 miles. The driver of the Mack B61 tow truck was extremely careful and took about 36 hours to make the trip at a very slow speed. He and us spent quite some hours preparing the bus for the tow as it was in very poor body condition and needed to be braced throughout the body to prevent it from falling to pieces on the highway.
