Tritransit Area



Whoa!!!!!  Is that a sign from one of the old El Dorado cutaways?  Tis nice to see that these '99 Phantoms are still running.  Also, LOL with the "80 to Van Dorn St Station"
My favorite buses:
1989 SEPTA AN440: 19 years in service
1989 NJT Metro Bs: 21 years in service
1990 WMATA 93/9400 Flxes: 20 years in service!
1990-92 Ride-On Orion Is: 17-18 years in service!

Tell me again I have no taste in buses...

I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Also, the side and rear signs still work. I've wanted to see a flip-dot/full LED config on a bus.
Also, regarding 2816, those signs STILL don't display the correct destination codes. I have a feeling that they didn't use the same dest numbers for Twinvision as they do for Luminator. This is why I don't like when agencies have multiple signs from different manufacturers.
