Those are pretty good photos. I'm curious though, what's all the haze especially in the shots towards the end?

Finally, somebody has a pic of the Optima Opus bus. Awesome pics Brandon, as usual.
Blue Line Shuttle to Franconia-Springfield.



Want me to make a destination sign for you? Just send me a PM and I'll have it made in no time.

Those buses were smoking ugh and they are ugly in the back. At least MTA could've used some 30 foot Flyers or something.

anyways, where'd you take those pics? the only busfan site I know of in Baltimore is downtown and UMD Transit Center, but I never went further than that, and I'm bored of it

Looks like mostly Mondawmin with some North Avenue, East Fayette Street, and Downtown in the mix as well.

Nice variety Brandon - really like the shot with two of the three Optimas in the same frame!

George, Aside from Downtown, Mondawmin is likely the next best hot spot since buses from 3 of the 4 divisions pass there regularly.  Only downside is when school lets out, the kids tend to raise some havoc at times.

Just like Minnesota Ave and Addison Road. Anyways thanks for the compliments everyone. Man the Opus' are like....ugh. I ALMOST got a pic of 8003 but settled for a video which is going to be in my next TMV. Got some Bmore Metro videos finally.

Nice shots! I guess the Opuses really do run on the 97.  Tis a shame I never got to ride/see one :(.
My favorite buses:
1989 SEPTA AN440: 19 years in service
1989 NJT Metro Bs: 21 years in service
1990 WMATA 93/9400 Flxes: 20 years in service!
1990-92 Ride-On Orion Is: 17-18 years in service!

Tell me again I have no taste in buses...

The optimas are hit or miss at best, in my observations. They aren't in use everyday.
