I was at Walmart valley view at 6:45 and was hoping it was still there at my 8:45....and it was. The guy driving it said two were there but the first left at 06:00. We talked for a minute I took some more shots and I had to jet, worth being late though  ;D.

Actually the first one came to the "noke" back in Jan of 2009 by mistake.....got a pic I'll post it as soon as I can find what file I put it in. Now by mistake I mean the driver took the wrong bus from D.C. it was suppose to go to Philly. They ran in to Nashville and deadhead back to D.C. to pick up normal schedule. It was wearing the shadow livery it looked nice....stay tuned.

wow...Fred I was just jammin' off that yesterday........

Fred is absolutely right it's pay me now or pay me later....those skillkrafts cost the city more than it saved, and as for the cutaways short shuttle service yes, fixed routes no. With the hood/and bike rack watch those turns.
I joke...Anything less than 35' is not a bus, it's a wannabebus, deliver truck, beard truck, or STA (student tranport apperattius). In this case of transit agencies with good ridership bigger is better, ....my two cents worth.

That's great news Fred, we won the battle but, stay focused, the war may not be over...choppy waters maybe on the horizon.   8)

You're absolutely right, it's going push more people away from public transportation and create more problems, that's what you get when you look at things through a toilet paper tube. We need Bev back on city council....where is Super Bev 8).
Can't get off wish I could be there, but I might draft a letter and voice my opinion, for what it's worth.

WOW!!!! Thanks Fred for posting this. Cuts is never good especially when a company is starting to show progress or recovery. I agree they need to look for other ways besides cutting service. The three local Governments could if they would work together....that's a big "IF".  Wow cutting 14-18 drivers is unacceptable...keep us posted.

Bus seen in LV was probably headed to the property, sometime they stop by other properties to show them off and possibly drum up some future orders. I see alot of new NF's and MCI's rollin' past my way on I-94. The latest being Miami-Dade "TIC" and CT on a snowy day, photos on my fb page.
