It is as good an explanation as any but GBL didn't have any of them on their property after the year 2000. That's not a GBL bus.

Well the Classic has the post 2001 plates so its not from the 90's. I agree it must be that AC Transit bus because it is certainly not a Green Line bus. The fishbowl even looks like it has roof exhaus ...

The last fishbowls out here that I remember were borrowed from I don't know where, maybe Jamaica? I think they had 9xx numbers and were from 1976. I didn't like them one bit. They were awful. Up to 19 ...

That all sounds plausible but I'm pretty certain that the new looks were all gone in 1994. In fact at that time I thought it was amazing that the TA had 5227 running but Green Line didn't have anymore ...

I'm not sure because I wan't paying much attention in '97 but it might have been those 1979 RTS buses that were borrowed. They may not have replaced anything per se rather just fill gaps. But certainl ...

I would say they were replaced by the RTSs from 1993. What has happened to 1012?

I'd say they at least left Green Line in 1993 or '94. When I graduated high school in June of '94 they weren't around anymore. Nor were any other fishbowls except some garbage buses from 1976 which I ...
