The decommissionings

MCT is about to assume the biggest fleet change and growth in its history in June, when eight new buses replace eight others that have gone far beyond their intended lifespans.

Among those being traded out are (from left) Eldorado bus 15, old Thomas bus 13 and SLF bus 2 (the Halloween bus).

So THAT's why the blood ... we should never let 98 and 124 share the same ladder. Here, these guys are removing bus logos and tips of thumbs.

On the other hand, 90 appreciates the peace of being left serenely alone to do his job on the other side of the same bus.

Vinyl striping extended onto the bus roofs, onto which 78 climbed in order to scrape it off.

So long, fleet. We hardly knew ye.
