Nice!

Also notice that Phoenix has been adding a rear number on the 2007 D40LFs (6573 is an example). I don't like it because (1) the number is slanted with respect to the rest of the bus, (2) it is in a different font, and most of all (3) it is not on the RPTA buses.

Also, one last thing is that it seems that Phoenix buses are now randomly distributed around North division, South division, and West division. Case in point: D40LF 6563 (or around there) is a First Transit bus, while 6533 and 6595 are Veolia-Phoenix buses.

I've noticed that too. I don't really know why that rear number has to be in that spot (although the NABIs and 1994/1996 D40LFs had it there) I think that the only sure bets with the Phoenix buses are as follows:

1.) All 1999 NABI 40-LFWs are at the North Division
2.) All 2002 NABI 40-LFWs are at the South Division
3.) All 2004 New Flyer D60LFs are at the South Division

The 1998 NABI 40LFWs are completely and totally scattered as well as the 2007 New Flyer D40LFs (although I don't think that these are only West Division/North Division buses).

There are also only 5 2007 D60LFs(8046-8050)at the South Division (this allows the West Division and South Division to have an even number (25) of artics.
