Keeping your latest model free from advertising for a while is a practice not confined to Melbourne. In Prague, I wondered how long they would keep their Škoda 15Ts pristine and it was not too many years.
There's one significant difference though - the windows are generally kept clear. It's called respect for your passengers, a quality notably absent in Australian transit operations. Except perhaps for Perth which, at least last time I saw, constrained advertising to a discreet panel.
