South Florida Photos - May 2011

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

Including Palm Tran, BCT, Miami Transit, and whatever else is around here.
Here's some Palm Tran photos I got yesterday...not as much as I hoped, but better than nothing...









and apparently the 2010 and 2011 buses are also recovery buses, just like WMATA's 6462-6509

Nice pics! Keep them coming! Is Gilligs all that Palm Tran has?

thanks!
actually yes, I didn't really notice that until you mentioned it. Palm Tran only consists of Gillig Advantages (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 hybrid) and BRTs (2006 and 2011). I think the '11 BRTs are hybrids, not sure, but they do have white LED signs rather than the traditional orange (as well as at least one of the 2010 hybrids, 1010 to be exact, failed to get a photo though)

check this out, they even have a couple of Palm Tran routes that run along the Lake Okeechobee region, which is like 30 or so miles west of West Palm Beach, it's like Ride On's route 76 going all the way out to Poolesville, but this is much longer and isolated. It was pretty cool, this is the one bus shot I got over there, they don't have their own bus division since it's just 3 routes (one of which goes to West Palm Beach). Anyways, here it is...

Well today was the last day of fanning, this time I have a lot more (mostly from BCT this time, good times)
let's start off with one of Miami's newer buses























I had no idea the 23 switched to cutaways (or maybe just this one run), but when it arrived, a lot of people crowded into this cutaway, so it was probably not a good move...


and at last...Palm Tran (the three pics at Delray Beach Tri-Rail station while waiting for my ride)

Thanks for sharing.  Know anything about the rationale behind the "OUR BEST NOTHING LESS" signage?

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

All I know is that EVERY BCT bus has them, I guess it's their new slogan or something. It is a bit inconvenient on the 9900s and 0000s with the older signs since the signs take longer to change

That's actually the current motto for Broward's County Government!

Awesome pics man, especailly the Gillig BRT. That's my favorite Gillig model, thanks to LYNX.
