Nice, just wish I could understand it. I should take some German classes somtime.

... During my research I very often stumble across some fascinating documents ...


I find it funny how you can search your heart out trying to find something specific, and you’ll almost never find it. Its only when your not actively looking/searching that you find what you were originally searching for. I guess that’s just one of those funny quirks of life. :crazy:

I don't understand any German, but riding in an articulated bus is now on my list of things to do before I die.

There aren't any near where you are?

In Brussels the line nr 71 is well known for that

As that line passes near two sites of ULB university and then in centre of the city

We have got some here in Sweden with two "harmonicas" I don't know the word for it in English...
Here is one, don't know where this is from though: http://www.sportbilen.se/bilder/bilder/megabuss1024.jpg


Talking about that, you don't wanna be in the rear part of this articulated bus: www.garaget.org/video/yek94qd0mbb6
A guy at work told me that his mom drove one of these in Gothenburg and that they could lock the rear part so it wouldn't swing out like that, if it would start drift in the snow or such.

Nice pictures btw, Animatronixx :smile:

Not in Hernando County, Florida. Or Pasco County, Florida, or Suffolk or Nassau Counties in New York. I'll have to check on Tampa.

As for NYC, I've seen pictures of some, but I never had a reason to ride one.

Tampa runs almost entirely 40 foot Gillig buses. I don't think there are articulated buses running anywhere in Florida.

A bit offtopic to the buses, but it fits to the man theme:

Yesterday the well known company Karmann has built their last complete car. It was an Audi A4 Cabriolet in US-version.
They couldn't get new orders, since they don't build any more the VW Golf Cabriolet, the Mercedes CE Cabriolet, and since the Chrysler Crossfire is out of production.
