Posted by roscoman1986 on Wed Dec 5 14:17:10 2007, in response to PHOTOS - Phoenix Transit System, posted by SignGuy on Wed Dec 5 00:30:13 2007. A few comments that I forgot to add:1. I remember when the FLASH was RTS. I thought though that it was operated by secondhand RTS-03 buses, but I guess I was wrong in that case and it was actually operated by Phoenix because Tempe had no buses of its own. When I was in 2nd and 3rd grade my school went down to the Arizona State University Planetarium (which is still there) and I remember seeing the FLASH buses and remembering how they stood out compared to the other buses. IIRC in 1998 they were replaced with Tempe's own buses and the old 35-foot FLASH RTS buses went back to Phoenix and were repainted in Valley Metro colors. Only had the chance to ride the 1989 35-foot RTS buses once before they were gone this year. 2. Even in 1994 it looks like that AM General bus has side rollsigns while the front appears to be blank (but a Vultron sign). I guess they couldn't fit a Vultron sign in the small side window next to the entrance. 3. I like the shot of the MAN SG-220 in front of Park Central. Both are gone (the SG-220s were retired in 1998 because they were inaccessible, and Park Central has no more department stores). That shot looks like either 1979 or early 1980s judging by the cars and the route number (now it is the unique route 0). |
