As with anything, you will hear much more of the negative feedback than you will of the positive feedback. There might be 10 negative opinions and 100 positive opinions on something...you will hear 10 complaints out of the 10 negative opinions, but only 5 compliments out of the 100 positive opinions.

Might be exaggerating a bit, but that is how people work...

They are El Dorado EZ-Rider IIs.

I believe it is called a Blue Bird Express 4500.

I drive a 2003 6" stretched Ford Crown Victoria with almost 200,000 miles on the original powertrain.

Yeah I'm feeling the pain right now, my car gets anywhere between 10-14 mpg. I just paid $65, at $3.99 a gallon to fill up my tank. Good thing I only fill up once every 4 weeks or so.

Before...




After...

I haven't had this issue at all, regardless of which machine I'm using.

If you were to see it from the side, particularly the door's side, you'll see a major difference.

Well going by other pictures of the curb side, the only difference is the window treatment. Other than that, it looks like the same design as the LF models, both inside and out.

I don't know if its just this particular picture, but it doesn't strike me as that much different from the LFRs.

Are you looking at the bus stop sign??

What exactly do you mean by "seen"? Please elaborate.

Ray, great pics.  Did you pose the buses for the shoot, or employ some of your fellow drivers to do so?

I set up the poses but I had one of our operators come with me because I obviously can't drive 2 buses around.

I think the externally framed windshield gives it away, very similar to framed windshields found on armored trucks.

well im freinds with the general manger of PRTC me and him get along and he told me i dont think they wont be any source beacuse they dont like them telling the public those stuff

Just that statement alone could place the GM and the agency in a negative spotlight, if it is true. Public entities are generally transparent regarding capital purchases, issues such as bus purchases with public funds shouldn't be "hidden" from the public.
