I’ve lived most of my life in Maryland and don’t entirely understand the fascination that some people have with its state flag.  However, I find it very appropriate that the Maryland Transit Administration has opted for the past eight years or so to lean in heavily to the colors of the state flag in designing its current bus liveries.  Considering the literally “vanilla” liveries that preceded this one (the vehicles were white with a single blue stripe or a relatively small Maryland flag image depending on the livery), this is certainly an improvement from an aesthetic standpoint, in my opinion.  What do you think of it?

One should always travel with his or her camera and expect the unexpected!  A flight cancellation last week resulted in my driving from the DC area to Boston and back again, so instead of spending this past Sunday in Boston, it was spent working my way south along the Northeast Corridor.  When Mrs. Oren’s Transit Page suggested we stop for lunch in New Haven, I was able to get my first CTtransit photos.  I know very little about the system and certainly had no plans to be building out a CTtransit section on this site anytime soon, but sometimes life throws curveballs at you and you find yourself with an opportunity to photograph an agency you did not expect to.  Be on the lookout for this new section, including photos from the Shore Line Trolley Museum, in the near future!
