PHOTOS: Four Mile Run With a View!

It happens all the time, just like with the Pike Ride and 38B buses, but ... they "try" to keep them on the 9S to the extent that they can.  At some point, however, the goal comes down to "just get the goddamn run filled".

I think (my op) that they shouldn't do that it confuses the riders.
I saw a 9s doing the 17m and so many people didn't get on that bus it wasent funny . Then the next bus was so packed it was funny...

For all they know, the banners could be an ad or something. Either way, if the sign displays a certain route, even if it's a bus of a different branding, then I don't think there's anything to be confused about.

Outside of the REX and maybe the 38B, what is so great about these lines that they have to be branded?

Why don't they brand the 5A and B30, then?

Anyway, it's just too bad they started doing that Local/Express/Extra branding for all buses.  There are NOT that many full time Express routes running in the area.

Technically the B30 did have branded buses, can't remember if they still do.  Just like the Orion VIIs for the 38B, Pike Ride and the 9S, 4390-95 have roof line banners and for a brief time had side ads denoting the B30.

AFAIK most of the branding went away with the rehabs.
