New Flyer C40LF 1810

Location: Broadway at 1st Avenue, San Diego, CA
Operator of Vehicle: San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS)
Date of Photo: July 16, 2014

It has been a very cold and snowy winter in many parts of the United States (though oddly warm in places such as Denver according to my social media feeds).  So why not feature a photo from somewhere sunny and warm, and hope that spring weather is upon us soon?  This photo was from my first trip to San Diego back in July of 2014.  Needless to say, the weather there was hot (albeit still quite pleasant for mid-July).  This New Flyer C40LF was acquired prior to the integration of San Diego Transit and Chula Vista Transit into the single entity known today as MTS.  All the former San Diego Transit buses retained their blue and red liveries throughout their service lives, and only new buses were painted in the red and white livery that MTS still uses to this day.
