First was a drive around Santa Clara County looking for current or former VTA wraps. This includes Gillig 6420 now in a Luminate Film Festival livery, operating the 77 in San Jose and Milpitas. Then a drive to Santa Clara to get the Spanish language side of 6417, the Latino Heritage wrap, on the 57. AFter that, I drove to south San Jose to see 6432, which no longer has the former stand against hatred wrap, on the 42. Lastly, the 4403 in the veteran and active servicepeople wrap on the 66 in Milpitas.

Next place I went was the Stonestown area of San Francisco. Muni had BYD 5008 running the 57 line, and I got it on Eucalyptus at 19th Avenue. Rode light rail into downtown and concentrated on Powell cable cars. No. 16, already wearing Muni gold and blue livery, was decorated for the NBA All Star games just held over the weekend. Two cars behind it was Willie Mays car 24.

Rode to Salesforce Transit Center and hooked up with Muni Nova Bus 5011 on the 25 Treasure Island line along with other AC Transit and SamTrans buses. Returned to Market Street for some passing streetcars.

After picking up my car from Eucalyptus St., I drove down to Serramonte Center and did some turning shots of buses that included SamTrans hydrogen bus 5009 on the 130.

Photos did not look significantly better when I brightened them, especially the 5011 and the 3009, so I left them a little dark.

Nikon D5600 and Samsung Galaxy A54 5G cameras yielded 419 photos.
