  1. I think I saw this type of buses already running at Long Beach Transit.

  2. Can anyone tell me if these BYD buses have been certified by the USDOT yet via the testing center at Altoona?

  3. Great development, but it’s a cruel irony that Mike Antonovich gets to bask in the glory of it since won his seat on the Board by defeating a guy who campaigned for a countywide LRT system (and who was ridiculed for it at the time). #BaxterWard
