Blue and green, blueeeee... and white?

#GuelphTransit has an interesting variety of liveries. The newest order of Nova Bus LFSe+ buses, such as 296, are blank in contrast to the rest of the fleet!

Hybrids, hybrids, hybrids!

Plenty of #TTC hybrid electric buses, old and new alike, plow the streets up in the Wilson region of North York! A brief August weekend outing offered quite a lot to experience.

Good call. While deploying rail replacement buses was a good idea, the amount of buses on the 18L unsurprisingly didn't cope too well with all the riders in my opinion. Some buses only made a single stop at Clarkson (from what I witnessed on the 28th) before running non-stop to Union from Oakville.

Wait... that's not a cutaway bus!

Earlier this year, #BWGTransit service was replaced by #ArgoCorporation. Argo offers "smart routing" and uses electric buses! Learn more about Argo at www.rideargo.com!

Placing a focus on photo for my July visit up to Hamilton's #HamiltonStreetRailway, I was able to get quite some variety in the locations I snapped transit photos at on this day.
