Very observant visitors to this site might have noticed two things recently.  First, it has been a very long time (nearly two years in fact) since any announcements of new photos being posted to Oren’s Transit Page have been made.  Second, the January 2023 Bus Photo of the Month came from a city that was not included on Oren’s Transit Page before.  The reasons for this are several fold.  In 2021, travel was slowly resuming and the Oren’s Transit Page Baby (as he was known then) required a level of care that was age-appropriate but one that does not facilitate frequent website updates.  In 2022, travel really took off again, as my travels took me not only up and down the Northeast Corridor but to the Florida panhandle, San Diego, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Israel, and Greece.  As you can imagine, travels that extensive generate lots of photos, which in turn, take time to organize, touch up, caption, and post.  The good news is I’ve made some headway on that front, and I believe any photos I took prior to May 2022 are now online.

The “highlights” from this update in my opinion in “chronological” order are:

• The first new photos from Philadelphia since 2012
  
• My first photos of the new Type 9 LRVs now in service on the MBTA Green Line in Boston
• My first photos of DART buses and light rail and the McKinney Avenue Trolley from my first visit to Dallas in November 2021
• My first photos of Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) buses in Pensacola, FL
• Photos of the electric New Flyer X60E articulated buses on the Orange Line and the Santa Monica Extension of the Expo Line in Los Angeles
• Photos from the first day of revenue operation of the WMATA Silver Line Phase Two to Dulles Airport and Ashburn
• Photos from this year’s New York Subway’s Holiday Train, featuring the “Train of Many Colors” for the first time in this annual tradition
