A traditional HSR bus rolls up Hunter Street behind city hall past its innovative cousin.

This bus looks longer/larger and better looking than the bus I posted photos of back in November. I'm loving this one. I hope the city shares the pros and cons of each of the 3 buses so we as transit riders and tax payers can all have a say or at least knowledge of the process as to why they went with the one they choose!
