Like the pictures of the demo buses that show up to Portland.
I wonder why the builders bother, though, given that TriMet doesn't bother to buy buses, and don't bother to buy anything but a New Flyer D40LF (and certainly no hybrids, no BRT buses, no articulateds...)
I remember back in 2001, 2002...New Flyer brought out their Invero bus and TriMet actually put the demo in revenue service for a very short period of time. (I saw the bus but didn't get to ride it - I was living in Montana at the time and had just arrived in Portland off of Amtrak for a short visit.) I wonder what kind of customer feedback TriMet would receive by having these demo buses put into service to show riders (and potential riders) that there IS better bus service available - it's just that TriMet refuses to buy it.
The photo archive is a public resource and should stay publicly accessible.
Jason agrees with that, but has some issues with the way it was hosted on Flickr. I told him that I would post it on my own website and whenever he comes up with an alternative way to host these images in a manner that is comfortable with him I will remove this site.
He has full edit privileges of the website above, BTW.

How did you get him to do it?

Maybe Jason would say that the answer to your question is: "Because Max bugged me enough."
