PHOTOS TAKEN IN 2008:


Gillig 2011 in Spare the Air ad wrap is at Stelling Rd. and Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino (next to De Anza College) after having arrived on a route 54 run. The block number is 5541, so this bus was about to pull out for the 55 line. The colors appear to represent the green, yellow, and red alert levels for Spare the Air, plus a blue sky. I like the black treatment around the top. Photos taken June 30, 2008.


More of Gillig 2011 in Spare the Air livery. Once again, it operates the 54/55 block. It rests at Stelling and Stevens Creek (opposite corner from the June 30th pictures) to do a line 54 departure on July 16, 2008.





You notice that the photos I took June 30th and July 16th are all streetside views. Well, I followed and preceded 2011 along route 22 on July 20, 2008 and snapped plenty of curbside photos at a number of locations: The Alameda and N. Keeble Ave. (San Jose) westbound, El Camino Real and Lincoln (Santa Clara, a streetside photo) westbound, El Camino Real and Bernardo (Sunnyvale) westbound, El Camino Real and Galvez (Stanford/Palo Alto) eastbound, and the Santa Clara Transit Center entrance and exit eastbound.
