Metropolis Transit To Accept Bus From Geraldo Transit

Metropolis, BR. April 9th 2014,

"The dogs are in the house!" say a bus depot mechanic when 5 1997 North American Bus Industries buses from Geraldo Transit were delivered to Corlesen Avenue Depot this evening. The buses are now part of Metropolis Transit's fleet and were purchased specifically to reach Metropolis International Airport from the 49th & Corlesen Loop where the current 67 trolley ends. These buses will be refurbished with new paint and seating to last for the nest year and a half while buses from New Flyer are delivered.

These buses, nicknamed "The Bricks" by shop personnel, already have a history here in Metropolis. The trackless trolley line operate an all-eletric version of this bus that soon due for retirement and newer diesel variations that are currently being retrofitted with new amenities like faster wheelchair lifts, and white LED signs. Unfortatly for the GT "Bricks" they will not be seeing new lifts or signs but rather just a fresh coat of paint to match the retorfitted diesel "Brick" buses Metropolis Transit currently own. When finished, these former Geraldo "Bricks" will mainly serve the brand new 67 Airport Shuttle when it opens in June 2014. They will be expected to last until 2015 when Corlesen Depot receives their 2015 order of New Flyer XD40s.
