School Bus 101

Nice contrast having that former California unit in all the snow!

Saw this sticker on the rear roof hatch of 8073 this week. They sure are making a big thing out of this new "no opening" rule...

Finally got a better picture of 150540.

Never seen that one before!

Spotted 150545 this morning. It's a 72 passenger IC CE with tinted windows, LED lights, and a rear spoiler.

Spotted one of those IC CE propane units this morning on Crowchild Trail near Crowfoot Station. Still doesn't have any visible fleet numbers on it.

Spotted a 2019 IC CE gasoline unit numbered 419499. Has LED lights all around and air-brakes as well! I messed up on the framing of the pics unfortunately... Anyone have any guesses what First's new numbering system represents?

Spotted 41002 earlier today. Apologies for cellphone quality pics; no DSLR with me at the time!

From the agenda for tomorrow's City Council meeting discussing transportation and transit. Quote in question comes from Page 7 of the document. Some pretty bleak outlooks... https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=65851

Spotted 3257 and 3258 today. Also spotted 207008 the other day.

I've seen green and blue seats, but never red or yellow...

There are about 10 CEs similar to 5311 parked at the C.O.P. Yard!

I think the main problem for passengers is the height of the horizontal seats. It feels like they were designed solely for people under 5'5". If you're taller than that, be ready to get the convex/angled part and top rim of the seat impacting your spine.

7558 returned to service on the 109 this evening according to T55!
