We review our bus replacement schedule every year and match that up with our local reserves and expected federal grants. I would say the hope is to get more Double Talls as they provide more passenger capacity and handle well in various conditions, but no final decision.<br /><br />As for the advertising, we really would rather have the buses look nice and clean with just our logo, but the economy has pushed us to find new ways to bring in revenue and there is demand for advertising on these buses.Martin Munguia (Community Transit)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14481525152278971438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108693913523162730.post-49039486419458679192012-08-06T07:57:31.642-07:002012-08-06T07:57:31.642-07:00I'm disappointed with these buses.

The front seats are really cramped and in the winter the buses have a massive condensation problem that has not been resolved yet. I once had a driver unable to pull out of the transit center because the windsheild was completely covered in unmanageable condensation. Major safety problem. These buses nned the ads removed from the windows and community transit needs to figure how to run the ac and heat (dehumidifying) at the same time. Until then, I dream of the days when I can drive to work.Andononhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720045004290416503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108693913523162730.post-66801490885556830102012-07-25T21:52:42.405-07:002012-07-25T21:52:42.405-07:00Thank you for the article about the E500s. I just ...Thank you for the article about the E500s. I just wonder, any plans so far you guys will purchase more double decker buses in the near future? I heard few years ago when you announced the purchasing of 23 E500s, that you guys might be buy 97 more E500s for the replacement of old buses. Is it true? By the way, not only E500s are good for CT, but also good for Sound Transit, I think. I am hoping there will be more E500s in Seattle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
