Title: ICE ROAD TRUCKERS
Post by: DCT S9Z4Z6 on August 24, 2009, 07:51:47 PM
Last night, while watching an episode of ICE ROAD TRUCKERS (HISTORY CHANNEL), there was an advertisement for an insurance company about 1/2 way thru the episode. (let me set it up). . .

The woman was waiting at a street corner, decided to take a step backwards as a bus was coming down the street. The bus was METROBUS (number 2308) HOWEVER, it was a GMC RTS type. (9000 & 9100 were the series).
It even had the green flip-dot destination sign (Said Metrobus). I couldn't TIVO (Isn't technology wonderful?) the block numbers etc, but it was a RTS painted in the EXACT METROBUS colors that the RTS's were painted in.

Did anyone else see that commerical?

No Bus Operator would ever pass a group of people, with a NOT IN SERVICE posted sign, and splash them as they drove by. .  would they??  ::)
