Now I didn't take many photos today. The shots of 341, the green Phantom weren't too good, but hey I tried my best to get them and you do get buses with dirty windows. Out of my control there. I saw seven RTS buses today with 4797, 4801, 4804, and 4809 being part of the seven I spotted today.
I also have a video of a New Flyer D40LF with a Sutrak A/C unit leaving. Then a ride along on 533, a 2004 Phantom on Link 50. Phantoms up until January 12th of this year were extremely rare on the 50 (they stopped appearing on the 50 between 2007-2008).
The 50 used suburban BRTs and newer BRTs like the 2010s, 2012s, 2013s, and articulated buses. Seeing a Phantom on this route is a pretty big deal, considering less then 60 are still in service (more are due to retire next year). Enjoy the roaring sound of the 330hp (Yes 330 horsepower) Cummins ISL engine as 533 screams on I-4 at over 65+ mph.

Note: A clear wow is heard from me, which indicates 4006 is a killer. These Ex-Big Blue units are doing well under TranStar.
