Post by: Nabinut on May 30, 2010, 08:27:05 PM
Since coverage of these three systems were low, i decided to combine them.
Gardena Bus Lines runs services in Gardena, Compton & Redondo Beach. Their fleet is comprised of RTSs (Low 700s) and New Flyer GE40LFs (High 700s)
First up is Gardena New Flyer GE40LF #723 on layover at South Bay Galleria before starting a run on Route 3 which leads to the Compton Courthouse:
