T8H5307A Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nice photos. I see Orlando Lynx still has the no 2 buses match paint scheme! Last time I was there was back in 1999 and they had all Gillig Phantoms and every bus was a different color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nice photos. I see Orlando Lynx still has the no 2 buses match paint scheme!I like that, and also the monochrome look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVTArider Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Thanks everyone Overall it looks like Lynx only has Gillig Phantoms and BRTs now. I did not see any Orion Vs but I did see one stray New Flyer C35LF on the LYMMO. I should have taken a picture of it but I didn't want to miss the bus back to the airport I also saw and rode a 30ft Gillig low floor on the LYMMO and I saw a couple 30ft Gillig BRTs on it as well. I think the paint scheme is cool, I was surprised though that I saw a lot of 300 series Phantoms in blue I also got some video of a few routes on Lynx and one on MARTA. I was going to take a couple pictures at the Atlanta airport of some C-Tran Orion VII CNG buses but when I got my camera out I noticed a driver on his phone sort of looking my way, so I decided to quit while I was ahead. It was probably nothing but I did pass a cop heading the other way towards that bus, probably just on routine patrol but better safe than sorry ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwantae Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I just Love the Gillig Phantoms , even the wannabe Nova LFs called Gillig BRTs, LYNX must have gotten rid of their 1994 Orion Vs. All those different colors reminds me Pittsburgh PAT called GOLD, I believe PAT got the newest Gillig Phantoms built in 2005-06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVTArider Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well I was in the Orlando area again last week. Here are a few more pics: A 2009 35 foot Gillig BRT leaving the airport: 2007 40 foot Gillig BRT boarding at the Florida Mall transit stop: 2005 40 foot Gillig Phantom at the Florida Mall: A few more photos here. Also from the airport: OIA 40 foot Gillig Phantom on the employee shuttle: Hertz rent-a-car Gillig: A few years ago Lake County started operating their own transit service. They now operate four routes and connect to LYNX link 44. A Lake Xpress 2007 Bluebird Ultra LF 30' on layover: I just Love the Gillig Phantoms , even the wannabe Nova LFs called Gillig BRTs, LYNX must have gotten rid of their 1994 Orion Vs. All those different colors reminds me Pittsburgh PAT called GOLD, I believe PAT got the newest Gillig Phantoms built in 2005-06. The last LYNX Orion V I saw was on an auction list about 6 months ago. Would've been nice to get a picture of one while they were in service. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
