What does this mean??? I have seen "MW" and "CHECK MW" on Academy buses before, but have no idea what it means!



Thanks to AMoreira81 for the pic, btw.

Fairfax Connector has the same message. I'm thinking its a standard Luminator error message.

Anyone ever used Academy? Including the the 22, 23, and few 126 runs when they used to own?

Here's a Valley Metro ElDorado EZ Rider (with Luminator Horizon) that also has the "Check MW" sign:

I've been on the 22 and the Blvd East route (now the 23) when Academy owned and ran it. IINM, Academy never had runs on the 126, but they ran their own service which was a duplicate (and in competition) of NJT's 126. A company called Red Apple ran it before Academy. Academy discontinued the service a few years back and I think NJT added some service to the 126 to compensate.

That's an ElDorado? Looks like a New Flyer C40LFR to me...
