When Jim was
inquiring about touring the City Bus Garage he was told no
until he spoke to Supervisor Bill Davies.
He thought it would be a great idea so we did get the
opportunity to visit.
When we entered the parking lot we had to make certain
that we went all the same direction
so there was no interference with the buses as the system
is set up that all traffic flows in one direction.
When you have close to 100 vehicles coming and going you
need some kind of order.
Bill had the crew take an extended coffee break so they
could look at our cars
and there would not be any bus traffic in the yard while
we were there.

We
had a nice showing 18 Vintage cars
show up for the evening. |

All
buses as they return to the lot at the end of the day
go through a safety check
and get refueled before getting washed
if needed before they are parked. |

Then it was off to the wash rack for us |

The
end of an interesting evening. |

As it was starting to get
dark some of the older cars headed home without stopping
for coffee |
