Title: Question, anybody can answer. Does this make sense to anybody?
Post by: OrionFlyer on March 05, 2009, 08:21:15 PM
I'm editing this wikipedia article about metrobus. I'm trying to including a note about #2320 being in the New Local Paint scheme. And somebody keeps on saying that just because the picture shows it doesn't mean that its true. I  provided a link directly to NewFlyer97BCT's picture of 2320 in the new local paint scheme. That picture shows 2320 in the new local paint scheme clear as day. And this person keeps on saying that its not reliable.

Does this make sense to anybody? To me the picture is solid proof. 

Here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrobus_(Washington,_D.C.) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrobus_%28Washington,_D.C.%29)

Well  a few people have seen this bus in person, including myself, so I don't think that this is fable.  Whoever says it is not a real photo isn't 1)A DC resident, 2) Doesn't realize that those C40LFs are scheduled for rehab and 3) Need to get glasses, as most photoshopped items can be spotted most of the time.

And to that person who doesn't believe, it's a real rehab of 2320.  Did they notice that small rehab sticker under the right windshield?

Agreed.  I saw 2320 repainted in the new colors for the first time this AM.  Before this and me seeing the pics, I had no reason to doubt it was repainted.  I would simply ignore this person.

Don't worry about it, somebody didn't believe it when one of LI Bus's Orion V CNG was painted into the broad blue stripe of NYCTA,  he might be the same person who doesn't believe 2320 has been rehabbed.

Now who would say that my photo of 2320 is fake >__>

and I agree with Wes about the 3 reasons why that person wouldn't believe it...I don't understand why somebody shouldn't believe it anyways. For example, if I suddenly see a picture of a SEPTA or Palm Tran bus in a new theme, and the photographer or someone says that the TA is repainting their buses, then I would believe it.

Besides...it's not like every TA has kept the same scheme for their entire service (that is, if it's been around long enough)
