Good Morning!

	Kind of amazed at the amount of press this has received   ---   pretty
much a given   ---   Everyone can acknowledge this!

	Only place I know of (please notice the qualifier  --  there *could* be

passengers noticed the difference and complained that the new  *buses* 
were not pulling to the curb.

equipment was actually segregated!!!!!!!(:->)
