edf40wrjww2msgDetailB:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Due to the extreme crowds (I've heard 90,000+) for the opening day of Valley Metro light rail, there were several buses operating shuttle service between the stations (most fleet types were represented by shuttle buses). Additionally, the LINK D62LFA buses were on display at the Sycamore St. Station. GUS Minibuses and cutaways were also used (I am not sure the types of these and, unfortunately, I wasn't able to get photos).
