If you want to check out some Classics, Stamford is the place to be. It's the closest to NYC that has them.Nice pics. |

That bus looked extremely new, perhaps only one or two months old. That was the ONLY one I saw yesterday, and I was there through multiple pulses to take pics of Coastal Link buses. |

Except they always had those oversize destination signs which I never liked. I prefer the smaller destination signs that were on the NYC private company classics. |

In addition, if one doesn't like it...just don't respond. Nothing wrong with that.What a double standard here. Trevor's pics are not much different (and I read his posts, seeing the same angles and nothing more). |

What can't you see? (As for Brian's original comments---wrong as usual. Most of them don't look that way to me, or to posters without mental retardation.) |

Regarding 326 -- isn't that actually owned by the Milford Transit District? Its livery looks a bit different from the CT Transit buses, and I don't see any mention of "CT TRANSIT" anywhere on the bus.BTW, I like the new I-BUS wrap... |

For those down in DC, IINM, the new C40LFRs have the exact same sign. It might be a Luminator Spectrum...and it does look capable of multiple colors. |

(Some 500s were also leased to SEAT to retire their Classics, which were owned by CT Transit.)IINM, there are 6 32x buses owned by CT Transit but leased out for use on the Coastal Link, as well as D40LF suburbans 135 and 136. (APPROXIMATE LIST of leasings) 325 and 326 are leased to the Milford Transit District, 327 and 328 are leased out to GBTA, and 329 and 330 are leased to Norwalk Transit District. Similarly, CT Transit has leased 135 and 136 for the Coastal Link, and 133 and 134 are leased to HART in Danbury for the 7 Link. (Then you have buses leased to SEAT, which I will find out about next week when I complete my do-over of my CT Transit gallery.) |

Here is a comparison, comparing it to Waterbury Division bus 385. (GBTA piggybacked off the order as well, but its D40LF and D35LF buses are owned by GBTA, save 327 and 328.) Both buses have the same paint scheme, and both have the same specs and are in the same numbering scheme...and that is NOT the Milford Transit paint scheme on that bus. (How I know that Milford operates the bus is based on the farebox---it isn't electronic.) (Also, if you see one of these buses, on the door rear, the bus has the ConnDOT logo on it, which will be a telltale sign.) If you are still confused, please respond, and I will try to make a better clarification. Hope this helps. |

What I was alluding to was the interior design of the O7's, which for starters is very dark and has the most bizarre seat pattern scheme I've seen: multi-colored polka dots on a black base. Ugly scheme for an ugly bus.I feel compelled to do another all-day circle trip to chase those Advantages when I get a chance... |

Not all CT Transit buses have the logo on the rear door.When they get re-painted, or a new door put on, they do not put the logo back on. |
