Post pictures of your city's transit buses. It will be cool to see different buses from all over the world!

***Cosmin*** · October 4th, 2007, 11:46 AM

I'll start...

In Bucharest, buses, trolleybuses and trams are operated by RATB (Regia Autonomă de Transport Bucureşti), while the metro system and it's trains are operated by Metrorex. There's talking for several years now about uniting RATB & Metrorex into AMT (Autoritatea Metropolitană de Transport/Metropolitan Transport Authority) but I don't know when it's gonna happen...

NOTE: In some cases, the numbers are rough estimates.

Both buses and rail transit in Salt Lake City are operated by the Utah Transit Authority.

I have just one picture to post, but it represents the style of all of our buses.

Winnipeg is home of the New Flyer bus company. They supply the majority of Canada & the United States's transit buses. Such as these in Milwaukee:

Næstved in Denmark, along mith most other provincial cities has special super-low-floor buses for special routes designed for the elderly and disabled. They are usually shorter than regualr buses but can be used by anyone:
