i dont think this will happen at all...speaking to one of the head mechanics and this is just rummors but makes some sence he told me that for as long as the state is the one buying the buses they have to keep the state blue colors, he said the only way they may get off changing the color is if they buy the buses on there owen and gbt cant buy there owen buses so i dont belive they will change any colors any time soon

It's a state contract but the majority of the money for GBTA's buses is coming from the federal government.

61, 44, 69, 94, 96, 92, 91(during monday thru thursday daytime only). Pick one. They all are low enough passenger count to warrant 35 or even 30 footers buses.

dint think of that but it makes sences atleast on the 44,69,94 and 96 not so sure bout 91,92 cuz they will go to far out of the way and the 61 is part of the evening pulse so u need a set bus witch is usually 700 o 500
