Busses are assembled by metal workers and mechanics in the workshop of Beynes in Haarlem. SHOTS: - in the streets of Haarlem drives the "bare" framework of a bus: only the chassis with engine and wheels; the driver puts out his hand when makes a turn; - the chassis is driven into a workshop; workers build the bodywork of a bus on it with fitted parts; - the bus is finished; painted; seats and luggage racks are placed; the bus leaves the workshop for a test drive.
