It'd be a fun idea to do temporarily, to be honest! Pick an anniversary date relating to our regional transit, and wrap a few of the buses or LRVs in the classic colours.
I know the region no longer owns any, but having a couple of the old GMC or Flyer Industries buses from the 1970s out on the road would be cool to see sometimes as well. I still remember when we had a few of these old things operating, back when you could still open the windows on the buses. I suppose accessibility would prevent them from ever running old stock, even if it was just a one off thing:
One of my early jobs was working overnight for Kitchener Transit fueling and washing/cleaning the buses. Brings back some memories of making left hand turns all night long.
[You learned quickly to book off New Years and Oktoberfest -- and found the weirdest things left behind on the bus. There was enough underwear left behind that they were normally thrown up over the rafters of the bus barn ... and it was an extensive collection. LOL]
