Look closely, and you'll see an Alaska plate offset from center.

It might have an Alaskan license plate but how do you know that this exact bus just drove straight through from Alaska? They have plenty of tours that travel through NYC and don't touch Alaska. I also don't see any trips to/from Alaska that stop in NYC. But the trips that do travel to/from Alaska make plenty of stop along the way - they don't drive straight through. Maybe you meant to more correctly say that they drive overnight between sightseeing locations, i.e. they drive straight through the night.

You need to learn how to check your email if you want people to communicate with you. Do your Rutgers professors talk to you about this?

What about the plate in the center PA PA 97 ?

It looks foreign to me.

I wonder if Trevor would like to Photoshop this bus all white with a blue stripe, signed up as an MTA/NYCT express bus ?

I'd love to see that. LOL

This bus is registered in United Kingdom.
You can see the driver sitting on the right side of the bus.

and the door is on the right. and i see the usdot stickers and all.
Possibly being foreign is the only way this could exist in ny.

I saw a car pass me thursday with Hawaii plates. That must've been a long drive.

Gonna call shenanigans on that.

1) you can clearly see the steering wheel on the LEFT HAND side of the bus

2) the country code on the blue strip on the left appears to be one letter. EU provisions have UK vehicles registered as "GB." Of course, a higher-res crop on the plate would tell more.

I checked my "original" photo.
I realized I made a mistake, that was "left-handle" coach.
I could not find registration's nation, but Rotel Tours Web is written by German and suffix is .de, it is German regidssterd Web cite.

They have about 20 of those buses; they obviously cater to Germans.

I bet Germans are the only ones crazy enough to sleep in a bus like that.

They do not drive through the night. They stop at campsites to sleep.

If true, then that just makes what double decker doug said ever more incorrect. Thanks!
