IIRC, this wears the Mercedes logo. I saw it in Mystic, CT on Thursday.

WHAT!? That's definitely some sort of conversion in the back...right?

While you were out in Mystic, you wouldn't happen to take pics of any SEAT buses?

Thats the Hotel bus, I didn't know it still existed. As for the bus itself, I don't know.

Great catch!! I saw that in Manassas, VA a year or so ago and was so mad I didn't have my camera around to see it.

I think it's a Mercedes, possibly a (V8-equipped) 0404. It certainly has Mercedes wheel-trims.

I have seen that bus in San Francisco and it appeared to have European front plates. I don't know if they just shipped it over or what the case is, but apparently it is some kind of "live-aboard" bus.

Yeah, looks like private quarters in the back, although I'm sure it's not one living space per window!

The SEAT bus, however, IINM, doesn't run anywhere near Mystic Station...only at Olde Mistick Village.

Here's that bus a few weeks ago in lower Manhattan. Caters mainly to German tourists, this bus is the latest incarnation of a service that began in the late 1970's. Basically they have always been Mercedes Benz
buses with the same layout and color. Tagged as Rotel Tours.

I've seen it before too. I assumed it was something for visiting Japanese tourists, given the number of personal-pod concepts that come from there.

I thought I saw a bus like that. I took a photo of it as it turned onto 34th Street, but it wasn't as clear as Fred's photo.
