Man, I love those full bus wraps. I sure miss them here in NYC. However, the MTA has gotten rid of them all together for the exception of those hideous looking strip ads on the sides.
IMO, it is just getting worse and worse to be in NYC by the second. I hope to move the heck out of here someday.
Anyways, awesome pics Joe!

Thanx Bee. Good thing GBTA has the wraps; sort of a boring system these days. Of course the Gillig Phantoms liven it up a bit.
BTW for the map/ timetable collectors: GBTA has issued a state of the art booklet of maps & scheds. Can be gotten free at the bus terminal rack.

Nice shots! I like that WICC bus! Too bad they only sound good on weekend mornings when Big Al Warren is on. :-)

I'm not a big fan of the current CT Transit/GBTA/SEAT blue and silver paint scheme, but I can't stand full bus wraps in general and the ones found on Connecticut buses are particularly tacky (most of them seem to be advertising the services of ambulance-chasing lawyers).

Speaking of GBTA, is there a reason why they abandoned their previous paint scheme in favor of going with the CT Transit royal-blue scheme?

Ah, I was wondering if GBTA used the previous CT Transit scheme on their buses.

Does anyone have pics of the older GBTA scheme?
