Bring that scheme back now and it would be retro-cool.  Wink

It'd be a fun idea to do temporarily, to be honest! Pick an anniversary date relating to our regional transit, and wrap a few of the buses or LRVs in the classic colours.

I know the region no longer owns any, but having a couple of the old GMC or Flyer Industries buses from the 1970s out on the road would be cool to see sometimes as well. I still remember when we had a few of these old things operating, back when you could still open the windows on the buses. I suppose accessibility would prevent them from ever running old stock, even if it was just a one off thing:
