There were major bus changes in Jerusalem as of this morning, including some major reroutings and cancellations of routes, so I got a few photos of buses displaying numbers in places that they won't be seen anymore (or at all) yesterday. And I just happened to get a photo of a bus I've seen running around over the past few weeks or so with AMERICAN flags attached to the side mirrors. Sometimes, the buses get Israeli flags put there, especially around Israeli Independence Day (usually in early May), but this is the first time I've seen the flag for any other country on an Egged bus. It also makes me think of DC each time I see this bus and the way WMATA flies American flags on July 4th.

(This bus is relatively undecorated these days, I took this (http://orenstransitpage.com/otpisraelpics/jlemman50.jpg) photo of it on May 14, 2010, and it looked like that until a few months ago.)<BR>
Here are some other photos from yesterday:

Great pics Oren. I always loved that WMATA flys the flags on their buses during some holidays. Looks great on the Egged buses too, but I'm definitely suprised to see a foreign flag flying on a bus.
Good pics! Nice lean on that last 'tic too!
