The new "show your bus livery" thread

Streamliner · #1 Posted **Sep 8, 2015, 6:08 PM**

Mod Note: OP originally posted this as a response to the 2009 bus livery thread. But since most of the comments in that thread were 6 years old, it had not had any replies since 2011, and many cities have changed their livery since then, let's just start a new thread.

San Diego, California:

The San Diego area has two transit agencies.

San Diego Metropolitan Transit System serves most of San Diego and its immediate suburbs. This is their white and red livery with a "sunburst" like design shown on an articulated bus:

The North County Transit District serves northern beach towns and suburbs. This is the turquoise/blue/white livery shown on the "Breeze" bus:

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead

This is the standard Shanghai livery.

In more suburban districts similar livery is used but in different colours, usually blue or pink.

Here's my post in the older thread.

As you can see most of the buses are from Nova.

Vancouver has a few different models sharing the same livery, so I thought I'd show just that and not overload the page with pictures.

Here is the standard DC WMATA bus livery:

Limited stop routes look like this:

And BRT routes (well, the one) look like this:

DC Circulator is a separate system within only the District of Columbia, and looks like this:

There are also a ton of suburban transit agencies. Here are some of the bigger ones:

And this isn't my city, but I'm going to give a plug to the Aspen, Colorado BRT line, the VelociRFTA. Best bus brand in America, if not the world. Yes, that's a velociraptor.

Is it only Laval whose buses have bike racks? Or is it just a coincidence of the buses in these examples?

Just a coincidence. Not all STM buses have bus racks though, I think they're on selected routes.

Copenhagen

Mainline buses ( A buses ) are yellow with red:

Ordinary buses are just yellow

Habour buses are also just yellow

Paris

Since the mid 90's, the livery of the bus and train of the RATP were white and jade green.

Now the newer buses have a livery that includes grey .
Grey is the color of the STIF, the transport organisation authority in Paris region (Île-de-France).
Jade green is the color of the RATP, the operating company.

Every new transport rolling stocks in Paris Region has some grey in its livery, infact the RATP has been the latest company to have the color of the STIF in its vehicles.

^ I see these latest Iveco urban vehicles running on lines crossing my suburb (Maisons-Alfort), digging them. Headlamps remind of the US personal vehicles from the 80s, I find. They look somewhat brand new in our time, as fashion is something widely cyclic anyway.
