In reply to GURVINDER SINGH GANDU. We imported these buses from Designline in New Zealand, and they're odd looking beats.

In reply to Ross. E class tram. And a VLocity. While the PTV electric bus livery has small '100% Electric Bus. Made in Melbourne" text at roof level.

Its much better to just import the whole bus from the manfacturer which looks nicer. the volgren busses are so ugly

In my experience, while this has been most common with the V/Locity trains (many of these signages has since been removed) and some buses, I have not seen much of this signage on public transport, even among buses that are made in Melbourne recently. So apart from the V/Locity trains, it has actually been rare for me to see one. I don’t think I have even seen one on a HCMT train.

In reply to mrcomeng. Even Perth has basically copied the same thing from Victoria, they've recently put "Made in WA" stickers on their new trains.

I’ve always hated the “Made in Melbourne for Melbourne” stickers on trains, trams and whatnot. It’s so unnecessary and I think by now we get the message (Even if the entire vehicle isn’t actually made in Melbourne). At this point all those stickers do is just block the view from inside!
