TRIMET MANAGEMENT-SEND SOMEBODY TO METRO TO SEE HOW ITS DONE

At the age of seven and with 250,000 miles on their engines, Metro’s buses roll off the road and into rehab, a process that guts, fixes and replaces parts on the 40-foot-long vehicles and sends them out with a fresh coat of paint.
It’s a bus’s version of a midlife facelift.
