This does not carry any name, but I saw Texas registration at rear and entered PABT.It means...this one is operated/owned by Greyhound?

If so...why red?

That's a Greyhound unit. It has the newer destination signs and carries a current fleet number. It was probably rehabbed but like you, I don't understand why it's red either.

Maybe Greyhound leased it from someone else.

It's painted for the BoltBus! They just don't have it decal'd up.

During high peak travel times the hound often uses buses from other operations to fill the void. They even use buses that appear in "demo" type schemes. And the hound always places its name and the Dallas registration on them.

#6491 is real Greyhound fleet and LED sign looks the same as rehabbed fleet (D4500) has.

But, it might be true because I thought this was Trans Bridge fleet at first.

Umm I'm pretty sure that they do not in fact do that with the rentals, like from Raritan Valley. And either way, this bus is clearly a GLI owned unit. Dead giveaways are the destination sign and the yellow handrail.

Why doesn't it have the name of the operator on the side of the bus near the door? Is that only for buses registered in NYS?

If I did not see rear, I STILL believe this was Trans Bridge....Pennsylvania registration is ALSO rear only...

4 digit numbers (Trans Bridge has 3 digit number except the leased fleet from NJ Transit) helped me to correct me.

But, why painting red? There are several "red Greyhound" reported and Bolt bus is NOT red. (I think Bolt color is orange.)

We should wait the answer....

I've heard that the paint scheme is to match the uniforms for the Greyhound Express service - in other words, rebrand away from the neo-blue scheme.

Still trying to confirm though...

Black and orange, with a hint of blue.

I was wondering if that's possible, but we all know how quickly we will see buses "dedicated" to express service running on other regular services, and vice versa. BTW Brian call me ASAP, I really need help on something

That could make sense, but G'hound is pretty much on top of such things, and they would brand the entire bus and not leave such shoddy conditions for a "new" service. This still looks like summer "help" to me, although the fleet # fits right in.

It's a completed refurb - what GLI does at times because they need the equipment is that they paint the buses in stages.

Academy did the same a few years back when they acquired their second-hand DL's.

BoltBus is definitely orange and not red.

Photobucket

Also, someone mentioned Raritan Valley. This photo was taken near the Greyhound station in Wash, DC a few years ago.
