START Bus (Teton County, Wyoming)

[Buzz2kb]

START Bus, the operating name of Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit serving Teton County, Wyoming; is the only other transit agency in Wyoming utilizing heavy-duty buses.  During its non-Winter schedules of operations, its services are mostly run with Gillig Low Floor's bought new (except 2 MCI commuter coaches on routes 30 and 40, which I did not spot due to reduced commuter services on Memorial Day).  It has 4 Gillig Low Floor 29ft. Hybrid buses numbered 272-273 (EPA-2007 buses new in 2009) and 276-277 (EPA-2010 buses new in 2011), and they are only used on routes 1 and 2 (Jackson Town Shuttle's).  2009 bus 273 and 2011 bus 276 are pictured near the Kmart in Jackson.  

The agency has 10 Gillig Low Floor 40ft. diesel buses bought new (Five 2009 buses 201-205, one 2012 bus 206, one 2014 bus 207 and three 2015 buses 208-210).  They are chiefly used on the Teton Village to Jackson family of color-coded routes in the 20-series, of which route 20 (Green Line) is the only variant operating outside winter.  They also operate two trips each on the commuter routes 30 and 40 (with the remainder run by a MCI coach each).  However, they can also occasionally show up on the Town Shuttle's, as depicted by 2009 bus 205 pictured at the Deloney Parking Lot in Jackson.  2015 buses 208 and 210 are pictured at the Teton Village bus terminal and Snow King Center in Jackson on routes 20 and 30 respectively.  Finally, 2009 bus 203 are pictured at the same spot as bus 210 on route 40 duty.  The commuter runs I've spotted were the only afternoon runs for Memorial Day.

I was in town last week. I was going to pay another visit of Grand Teton, but the clarity sucked all week, so I decided to explore the city (transit).

 

I assumed this was a small system and all I had to do was to stand at Miller Park lol. I didn't catch any Gillig LF 29' HEV, but I saw many the Gillig LF 40'

It looks like STRAT doesn't use the route number anymore and only keep the long name.

I also see the Proterra ZX5 START bought last year. Not sure how it was the past winter. I was not able to find out what route it operates. I was not able to te

When I was heading to Miller Park, I saw 2008 was going back to depot probably to recharge.

So I waited but the next time I saw another Proterra at the same spot was one hour later when I was driving by the intersection. I was not able to catch which route it was running.
