Girls Don't Like Boys, Girls Like Fares & Buses

Post by TP 3000 »

The plan is to add to this topic for the next few days, but knowing my luck it won't, but here a few so far.

Image
822-Campbell Park Terminus. A rare shot as another driver has this as his shift bus (normally).
Image
376-Fraser West Terminus
Image
821-City West Terminus. This was taken the same time as my last night shot & this one is so much clearer (in my mind) & it was hand held shot
Image
377-Fraser West Terminus

Oh Jesus, Mary and Joshephine at the title.........

Good pictures, with the one of 376, as that would have more been a 'set up' shot, you could always ask the driver to move it a little forward to remove the bus from the shade. I know we are all not perfect in this regard, however when it is 'set up' so to speak, or stationary try and remove the shade out of the photo by not getting a photo of it in the shade. Sometimes it is more difficult (And excused) when you are trying for that score photo of a rarity, or testing new locations however.

For 376, we did have another bus that left the same time as us. It was the same with 377, but it shows what cloud cover does. We also have to be careful as the next lot of buses come in just as we are departing.

The fact that the ramp and bike racks arn't open automatically makes these your best photos ever!
I don't quite understand the title though? EDIT: I've worked it out, its a play on a song lyric.

What is wrong with the handle on the bike rack on 376?

It looks like someone has broken it as it is covering one of the headlights, compared to 377 - which shows where it should normally be!

I know the bike rack handle wasn't in properly. But I remember being shown one last week where a passenger pulled the whole thing out. It may of been 376, but I didn't pay much attention. A few other buses have also few minor repairs.
