Ha, yeah, I saw his YouTube channel a long time ago. I really like the design of his '83 RCA ColorTrak 2000 Digital Command console. I haven't been on a whole lot of school buses, much of the time I was either within walking distance or used transit. The school buses I have been on, for class trips and such, I preferred those with stick shift of course.

I still believe HK has the best mass transit I have ever seen...and is MUCH more efficient than owning any car.

San Diego and L.A. are so weird and complicated. I've only tried to brave mass transit here in the states a couple times.....and it's MUCH too complicated to work.

I have seen diecast models of them...but refrained from buying even ONE, or it would become a collection as well
Whoa, no way a driver here would allow that. I heard tell of a visiting Brit who was complaining about how many bus stops there are here. Perhaps a similar system to that in Hong Kong is used in the U.K.
