UPDATE 4/27/2012 - check my latest post in this thread

I know this may not be the right forum for this, but it's the most popular one, so this thread will get more views.

But this isn't about me, I am creating a list of other transit galleries and websites (including this one) at the bottom of my home page, so if you own or know any transit galleries and/or websites, post it here (along with links) so I can add it to my home page. All I have in mind is Oren's website, this website, and BTCO.
Route Q2. Destination: Silver Spring Station

SchuminWeb

I'm surprised you didn't leave the old site up while you redesigned.  That's what I like to do - build the new site in a sandbox area, and then only remove the old site when the new one is completed.

Otherwise, don't forget me: http://transit.schuminweb.com/ (now with Chicago 'L' photos!)

Ride On 51 to Norbeck Park and Ride

Tritransit Area

I dunno if you want "Out-of-Area" websites, but http://www.philadelphiatransitvehicles.info is a pretty cool site if I must say so myself. :)
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...

yeah out-of-the-area websites are completely fine, seeing as I do out-of-the-area transit photos as well.

alright everyone, I know it's been almost 2 years since I announced this, but I finally got around to doing this, and now my site is finally back up. not completely yet, just the WMATA section. everything else should be up within the coming weeks

Though I still consider this the beta version, if you have any suggestions just let me know, I'm open to ideas and criticism

Looks great: I especially like the rehab # list on the top left-hand corner.
EDIT: By the way, 7101-7150 have Cummins ISB engines, not ISL.

Fixed


also, the Ride On section is now up, everything else should be easier from here on but I will need some help with the fleet numbers for other TAs like Palm Tran, BCT, New York and Maryland MTAs, ART, Fairfax Connector, SEPTA, and Miami-Dade Transit

I checked your site; now it says 7001-7100 have Cummins ISB, when they really have ISL. 7101-7150, however, are correct.

Obviously I ignored the part where you said "7101-7150", my bad
Also, Broward County Transit section is up. I'm still gonna need help with the fleet numbers for the other TA's. For Fairfax Connector all I'm really missing is the number of 7700s Xcelsiors (in other words, how high do these new 7700s go)

Enjoying the galleries and experiencing severe nostalgia with the Ride On Gallery.

So am I correct in that the oldest buses in the fleet are now the 1999 40 foot Orion Vs?

Yep, the 1999 buses are the oldest, not sure which of them came first (the 5700s, 5800s, or 5400s)
and yeah while I was making the site, I couldn't resist reminiscing on some of the photos, remembering how this area looked like (in terms of buses) back in my early days of fanning


also, SEPTA, Maryland MTA, New York MTA, and Fairfax Connector are now up
