FG eventually had the majority until the #8200's started rolling in around 2016. As always FG nog gone get new buses till the last order comes in in about 5-6 years Quote

I was thinking it was from the driver controls but how high the burn marks went you could be right or it could be the LED sign outside getting into the inside sign. Quote
