02.02.2026 22:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0sound transit DE60LF 9633 at bear creek p&r, it is a 2009 hybrid with two large humps since it has an ac for each cabin, and also larger batteries allowing for more electric-exclusive operation
9633 front cabin only, its large hump spanning most of the cabin is visible. previous DE60LFs only had a small, short hump, that did not include an articulated connection to the rear since they had limited ac & batteries
9633 but at south bellevue on a bright sunny summer day
9633 & XDE60 9672, which has a full roof fairing & a streamlined front, as well as frameless windows (very scary if you're kcm)
tell me this isnt a beautiful bus, and only one of these buses can run exclusively on electric power for periods of time, and it isnt the shiny one

13.01.2026 16:05 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0very real especially for the pay+benefits that it has. like i would start at $43/h, have paid training, get great benefits, and be unionised (atu). local 587 has been focusing more on safety than wages (very real concern for kcm) so wages arent even that competitive (for bus) and they're still great
