Awesome ride, man! I really miss those buses when they were always in service on Route 23! I don't really like the 2019 Champion Defender Ford F-550 because those buses looks ugly and the engine sound is very weird. Hopefully, LSF Shuttle will borrow some Gillig BRT buses from BCT and will be using those buses on Route 23 soon.
I'd more rather BCT take over the 23 altogether though that doesn't seem likely. As for the cutaways, my only real problem with them is the excessively bouncy ride quality. In Jamaica there exists a kind of bus called the Toyota Coaster which would be a much better fit for the route imo but I think those are illegal in the US 🤷♂️
