I love to flex on people who only use their phones but I have to admit, they are getting really good.

Same. Sometimes, I just go fanning with my Huawei P20. Hulling a camera all day, even a mirrorless, gets very tiring.

You can tell the quality difference though, except with ultra high end phones. Plus, Huawei post-processing is really terrible.

Guidelines:

  • Vehicle should occupy the majority of the frame, be centered in the photo, and be the main focus.
  • The photo should preferably show the entire front and one side of the vehicle or the entire rear and one side of the vehicle if a photo that shows the front is already available. Photos showing side detail are also permitted as long as the vehicle is centered in the shot
  • Photos taken in sunlight should have both viewed sides of the vehicle in direct sunlight when possible, or minimal shadows that do not interfere with the viewing of the vehicle details.
  • The entire vehicle should be visible, i.e. not cut off by the edge of the photograph, or be partially obstructed by objects.
  • Watermarks are permitted, but should be minimal and not detract from the photo.
  • Pictures should be of good quality, i.e. no blurring or low pixelation.
  • Photos of retired or otherwise very rare buses are exempt from the guidelines above if no better quality photos exist and/or have been uploaded.

Why did they keep the Calgary stripes on the roof?

It’s a bit extra work some people don’t want to do.  Some of the Ex. Calgary 1995 D40LFs that are now in Winnipeg still have the stripes on the roof as well as some of Calgary’s 2001 refurbed still have stripes on the roof.

If you want to hate and criticize this, how bout you get off your criticizing butt, go to Malvern and take a picture of the same bus on the same route. Or same bus on a different route.

Well, That looks better! The entire vehicle is shown and centered, nothing in the way, and entire info of the vehicle can been seen (e.i. fleet number, route number, transit logo)

Good Job! I think you have a winner this time!

Thanks. I also just got off 3514 going Northbound before taking that. Some of y’all are right, VISION does say Avenue pretty weird. I think I heard “E-vee-noo” rather than “Ah-vee-noo”

The picture itself is pretty good. Though it could use some editing such as; cropping and increasing the brightness

When you say 7901 is no longer active are you stating that it is stored or retired?

it's been fully restored and is now operational however they will not be putting it in service during the summer as they have been for the last 7 years prior to 2018. maybe if we're lucky they will allow us to use it for charters.

Calgary Transit 7654 was a 1999 New Flyer D40LF. It was retired in March of this year, along with 26 other Series 50 D40LFs. It is now a rarity to see these active outside of rush hour after serving the city for between 20 and 24 years.

I came back for give y’all one more for this month because my iCloud is getting a little full. Again same rules apply, if you hate on it, go find it wherever and take one yourself. I also adjusted the brightness and cropped it a tad bit, I’d show you my original, but it was actually pretty gloomy when I took it.

Airdrie Transit 3725 is seen in plain white preparing to exit 36th Street NE as a Route 900 Crossiron Mills/Airdrie. Airdrie Transit "discreetly" put these new buses into service, as they entered service sometime in May. 3725 and 3726 are both 2019 models and were likely purchased for expansion.
