What's up, man! It is nice that most Proterra ZX5 are moving on to different routes. Rode this new Proterra ZX5 on President's Day on Route 22 and it was pretty crowded. Lots of changes going on with these buses, from new bus liveries to modern buses. So far, all 2018 Gillig BRT 40' have new liveries, just like the 2020 and 2022 Gillig BRT 40'. Some 2014 New Flyer XD60 also do have new liveries. I hope Route 23 will use those new Proterra ZX5 to replace the 2019 Champion Defender Ford F-550, because the 2019 Champion Defender Ford F-550 (operated by LSF Shuttle) is really bad and not as great as the old 2011 NABI 40-LFW GEN II buses. Boarding the mini bus is really hard and lots of disabled riders are riding! So far, Route 23 needs lots of modification because there is no way that you can get to Weston without taking buses, on weekends, holidays, and off-peak hours. It has been over 9 years since this bus didn't made any adjustments. I hope the new PREMO service will fix this problem because there should be a new community shuttle service, if Route 23 will not operate to Weston!
Don't really like taking buses on Broward Blvd east of 441 that much really, 81 (closest route to me) goes there too. Interesting side effect of the increased Proterra rollout is the *2012 NABI 42-BRTs (1201-1209)* being moved from Ravenswood to Copans, meaning that they will no longer run on the 22 (nor any other Ravenswood route) And yeah I've seen the new liveries on some XD60s living near to the 19 (and 441 Breeze) and 72, currently 1432, 1434, 1435, 1436, and 1444 have them. I don't really see transit buses returning to any of the LSF operated routes for now sadly, especially with the 102, 115, and 122 still being suspended, but I also don't see the rationale in cutting the 23 since the one time Igot M1924 on that route it came close to running out of seats several times. Would be nice to have that route (maybe even the 15 too) run outside of peak hours but oh well By the way, have you ever ridden any of the 2011 NABI 60-BRTs (1150-1159) recently? I've gotten 1150 on the 19 and 1158 on the 72
