Is there a thread about buses ?

here are some pictures of buses in Holland, all taken in 2009

From Gulpen you can take the bus to Aachen (D) or Maastricht (NL)


Gulpen bus station, very nice snack bar here.


All pictures above:Buses in Gulpen, Limburg, NL^^





Buses at Maastricht railway station^^


Heerlen bus station^^
My impression of Heerlen is that it looked like a modern city without a city centre (or I didn't find the city centre)

Sound Transit, the regional transit system in the Seattle metropolitan area, has debuted their first of five double-decker buses. While Community Transit has been running double-deckers (branded as the "Double Tall" after the Starbucks cup size) for several years now, including a new fleet that went into service in October, these will be used on all-day freeway routes and not just rush hour/peak-only runs. Midday double-deckers!

Model: Alexander Dennis Enviro500 MMC
Manufactured: Indiana
Height: 13 feet, 6 inches
Length: 42 feet
Cost per unit: $972,000 (Source)
Capacity: 82 seated
Operator: Community Transit / First Transit
Routes: 510, 511, 512 (Everett-Lynnwood-Seattle via Interstate 5)
Replacing: 1999 New Flyer D60LFs (4 remaining), 2000 New Flyer D60LF

Display at Union Station

The day before its official first day of service, 91501 was on display at Sound Transit's headquarters (Union Station, a preserved train station next to the intermodal rail hub).

Downtown Streets

Leaving Union Station, I chased down the bus while atop an in-service double decker. Thanks to how clogged Seattle's streets get at rush hour, I was able to beat the bus on foot all the way up Howell Street to the freeway entrance.

Inaugural Run

On route 510, Everett-Seattle, at 7 am. I only rode for two stops to stay within Everett (since it is a non-stop express to Seattle) and people generally liked the buses and were quite used to seeing other double-deckers around.
