[@dangelohartley5977]

Interesting that you're starting to cover some American transit agencies, since most of your content mainly focuses on Canadian transit agencies

lol

You may have also noticed that the GCRTA buses have bus turning warnings, something that Canadian buses (except GO transit) don't use correct me if I'm wrong.

GCRTA started using bus turning warnings in 2009 after a fatal bus pedestrian accident in downtown Cleveland.

Since you're originally from Canada, what is your take on our American Gillig buses? All 3 models are in this video: the Low Floor (Advantage) (Akron Metro), the BRT, and the Trolley Replica. GCRTA also has NABI LFWs (first gen) and articulated New Flyer Low Floor Advanced which are not in this video.

NABIs are gone. I do recall when the 1st New Flyer buses for the Healthline were temp taken out of service when the driveshaft on one came through the floor and almost hit a passenger sitting in the back; even the ones for the #22 and 26 lines were out of service, even though they weren't affected by this. Good times.
