The city of Hialeah recently purchased a series of Orion Vs and Orion VIIs from the city of Toronto for use in implementing a bus network across the city. The Hialeah Transportation Authority will operate the buses and may contract some routes to the Iberville County Department of Transportation. Ridership is currently 13,000/day and revenue is roughly $800,000/month (fare $2.05) against a cost of $890,000/month. (I'm assuming the figures in the budget are in the 1000s)

Residents are very pleased with the reduction in traffic on the West side.

A new paint scheme will be added to the buses in the coming months.

Nice cj. For your images, use an image host like [url="http://www.majhost.com/"]majhost.com[/url], then your images won't be so small.

Thanks for the tips.

I use adobe illustrator for all my drawings. Its really easy to manipulate text, wireframes and vector objects but I am far from a pro.
