Some Charlotte CATS bus shots

[Sand Box John]

Pictures were taken a couple of weeks after the LYNX light rail opened (11 24 2007). Being that I am not an aficionado of transit buses I need someone to identify their make and model so I can properly identify them in my photo catalogs.

Bus 948 looks to be a 40' lo-floor gillig

hard to tell exactly by sight alone


Whoever was driving, and departed the bus, didnt curb the wheels on the bus, before they left the bus. Even brand new buses, the parking brakes sometimes fail.

The first one is an earlier generation NovaBus LFS. The second one is a 40' second generation Gilllig Advantage Lowfloor
