Hmm, three things:First, what a name for their BRT service, I guess it can't be as corny as "Select Bus Service" if it tried... Second, I did hear about a bus being painted up in this new scheme, but I was also told by my Chicago contacts that there was an order placed for BRT-styled vehicles, couldn't verify whether it was LFRs or Xcelsiors although I think it's the latter, to make the BRT buses look distinctively different from the regular buses so that operators don't take out the wrong bus for Jeffrey Local or Jeffrey Express... And last but not least, I find it ironic that they took this shot seemingly at the South Shops, with a New Flyer hybrid articulated in front of a row of the buses they were bought to replaced, the ill-dated NABI 60-LFWs...which they JUST got the authorization to prepare for scrap... --Dr. C |
