 Rolling off the Harbour Bridge in November 2016 is 1682 (MO1682) sporting a wrap for Pacific Boating.

 Swallowing the queue at Bondi Junction for North Bondi via the iconic Bondi Beach is 1690 (MO1690) in December 2018. The queues can be formidable on hot sunny days during school holidays as passengers pour off the trains from the city.

 Bendi 1669 (MO1669) is seen at Chatswood Bus and Rail Station in January 2020 on the 136 to Manly. Oddly alongside is one of the Volgren CR228L bodied B12BLEA bendis, 2097 (2097ST) wrapped for the 333 City to Bondi route. Volvo 2097 is unsurprisingly out of service being nowhere near the 333 route.

 Doubledeckers have problems with low trees and bridges, bendibuses come with their own set of problems. Volvo artic 1704 (MO1704), seen somewhere near Manly in October 2020, has locked up, taking the turn too acutely. Mechanics were summoned to release it. It brings to mind a similar incident in Oxford (UK) many years ago when one of the first MAN bendibuses - like the one used at SHOWBUS 79 - was on demonstration. It caused traffic chaos in the busy city and was resolved by separating the two halves.

 At the end of its days at Leichardt depot in November 2016 was 1695 (MO1695). It had somehow lost its front panel and rear saloon - probably not in the same way the Oxford MAN did!
