Goedendag! Welcome! 你好! This is Mark Qin from China typing. I am in a Master programme of TU Delft and will stay in the Netherlands for two years. I have uploaded some photos in Bus/Treinposities.nl using the same username WDK6761G1.
Bus operators in the Netherlands are always having relatively 'young' fleets. In recent months I have tried to travel to other EU countries to find some classic vehicles, also some vehicles that can not be seen here.
Sorry for typing in English, if my posting habit or posted content makes it uncomfortable or unrelated to the forum I will try to fix it. I hope you will enjoy my photos!
Let's begin with Gent city centre.
I'll upload some pictures as long as I have spare time.

Thank you! MT means Manual Transmission, but now most buses are using automatic gearboxes, or 100% electric.
I think you can safely assume all buses in the Netherlands that are in regular service are automatics, including coaches.
If it's a true standaardbus you're after, try catching a ride with one of those through a bus museum (Haags Bus Museum, NZH Vervoermuseum, ROMEO Rotterdam, Stichting Museumbus 1698) when they start their tours again.
Public transport buses with manual transmissions were commonly seen in mountainous areas in Europe, in regions that contain roads with steep slopes. In the Alps, this kind of buses have been replaced by automatic buses as well, but around the Balkan area manual buses might be more common. Younger buses used in Western Europe can have a second life in Eastern Europe.

Thank you! I had an exciting ride at Haags Bus Museum last year, but it was the 319, Hainje CSA with ZF 2HP auto. Maybe in spring I can catch one with MT

Balkan area, such a long distance to go to, especially during pandemic...Thank you for the information!

Try to catch a 3D scene when both bus and train are driving 'on the sky' and going through the ancient fortress. But if you turn around you will see Luxembourg city in a higher place
