Mass Transit/Bus Appreciation Thread Vol. 2

I work for MARTA (Atlanta Transit Authority). I actually support the 3 of the 4 major systems that keep it up and running...

And personally, I think MARTA sucks.

One of Metro's newer buses.

I hate my bus that goes from my house to downtown and back. it's never on time. it takes me 1.5 hours to get to work and over 2 hours to get home. The bus from Bellevue to downtown is alright but it always gets there as my other bus leaves. Then there is ALWAYS and 20min-60min delay for the next one. it takes me a little over a half hour to drive to work, with traffic.

All these bus pictures are cracking me up for some reason. But public transit is definitely appreciated. When I'm in major metropolitan areas, I usually take public transit if I have the time.

I wish ridership increased so that services could improve more rapidly, but for now CAR IS KING since a lot of urban planning, or lack thereof, was based on the majority of the population having vehicles.

These are our new mini buses for Metro's route 1. Route 1 hits most if not all the art attractions. The Zoo, Museum Center, Underground Freedom Center, etc etc.

Lol did they make him repaint it? I always wondered, what happens if someone buys a bus and drives it around that city.

TELL ME Y'ALL HAD THESE BUSES OR YOU'RE AT LEAST FAMILIAR WITH THE ENGINE?


BEASTTLLLYYYYY!!!! The old Tank buses had these engines with mustard yellow seats.

We had this wrap on our Muni trains when Wall-E came out. It was kind of cool seeing it fly by when it was underground.

once Houston extends the light rail routes it will be 

 

[bratz dos]

being from NYC, i thought this was going to be the opposite

appreciated i guess.

 

[marcmac360]

Since I transferred to a school bout 30 miles south of me Ive been relying on public transit. The different people I encounter never cease to amaze me. Although a lot of people smell and it can get crowded at times, I gotta say spending only $5 to get to school and back is a deal and a half.

 

[ryda421]

i prefer this one, too bad i've only been on one in my life time

 I hate Orion 6s. Piss poor build...the full low floor is dope but the engine and transmission are placed weird so they are a constant problem.
