Several buses, not just Ventura's, were at MSAC, Albert Park, in February 2015. These older buses suggest they were probably conveying school children - maybe not a good advert for when those students are older and in a position to charter coaches themselves. This is 1991 Scania L113CRB 9 (4609AO). The window sticker reads "Como Pde West Bus 11 Year 9 Boys 2".

Sister vehicle is no less than fleet number 1 (4601AO).
