Anyone know anything about what these buses are? All these photos were taken in Istanbul, Turkey during the week of August 9.





















Thanks, in advance, to anyone who can help!

well some are self advertised as man artics and a lot are volvos. nycta tested a man artic on the si xpress out of yukon some 20 years ago. man buses are popular in israel and europe but never made their mark here. women are also permitted to ride a man bus. but must sit in the back if the other riders are all hassidim.

None are Volvos. Several are Turkish-built BMC throwaway garbage, the rest obviously MANs and Mercedes.

I'll take a stab at it...

Photo 2 is a MAN SL200

Photos 4 & 6 are Mercedes-Benz O345 "Conecto" buses.

Photo 5 appears to be a MAN SL202.

Photo 7 is an Ikarus 280 Articulated.

I think Photo 9 is also an O345 "Connecto", but of a different variant.

Last photo is a MAN SG-220 Articulated.

Unsure about the rest of them, I don't know the model years either...hope this helps. Any corrections are welcome of course.

I must say that it is very interesting to see buses from other parts of the world on here. Many thanks for sharing.
