Percent rode = .001%
Just returned from a transit intensive trip to NYC with Smile43!. Although only 2 buses were rode, we got this nice pic of our crew on a articulated coach - the M103 on Madison Ave if memory serves me.
. Also took the Q33 through Jackson Heights and spotted a nice base full of some old-looking tan coaches. Numerous subway lines, S.I. ferry and L.I. railroad were also utilized.
Training Coach spotted!
I just spotted the mythical Metro "Training Coach" from my perch in the Health Sciences library! It was #4201 (iPod pink!), presumably on the 43 route toward campus. Multiple O was not in prime spotting form the last time a Training Coach was spotted.

The Seattle "iPod Fleet" continues to expand. The 4206 recently went iPod pink and has been spotted all over the 49 route. In fact, I rode it for the first time this morning.
Is this blogger the French MO?Also of note: Today I spotted the #4224 (palindrome coach!) going south on Broadway at Mercer around 9:30am.
full advert articulated trolley coach spotted
A most interesting evening for spotting started out with a spot of the 4255 coach on the 43 route around 7:00 PM. Spots of the 4200 series on this route are still most unusual. It should be noted that Smile 43, one of my travel companions at the time, confirmed this spot. It should also be noted that the MAN coach we were riding on was closely followed by a companion MAN coach returning to base.
Later that evening, we were waiting on Broadway for a 49 coach to take our companion E.S. home and, much to our surprise 4240 showed up with a new full-advert paint job! This is the only full-advert articulated trolley coach I know of. It is a red iPod advert and surpisingly tasteful - sure to turn some heads about town!
