Snapped a photo on my way home #downtownburlington and decided to start a piece of it. #wip #artist #painting #landscape #votegreen #landscapephotography #Burlington #burlingtonontario #burlingtontransit

Burlington Transit 2019 Nova Bus LFS 71906 makes the turn around Burlington GO's bus terminal to make its way toward the Burlington North SmartCentre. Its destination board reads "12E UPPER MIDDLE TO DUNDAS."

Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) 2018 New Flyer XN60 1822 makes the run down Main Street, still sporting the 1980's HSR150 retro livery at the time this photo was taken! Its destination board reads "10 B LINE EXPRESS VIA STONEY CREEK CENTRAL."

Oakville Transit 2024 Nova Bus LFSe+ 2406 awaits its next run on Route 120 "Laird/Ridgeway" while on standby at Oakville GO. Its destination board reads "120 LAIRD/RIDGEWAY NSRE."

MiWay 2024 New Flyer XDE40 2404 arrives at the South Common Centre Bus Terminal to drop off passengers and take on more upon arrival at its designated platform. Its destination board reads "48N ERIN MILLS VIA CREDIT VALLEY HOSPITAL."

It's good to be out again!

Making #MiWay (heh) over to #BurlingtonTransit, #HSR, and #OakvilleTransit earlier this month, I took many photographs of various units in each of the agencies' fleets. There's so many I had to narrow down this post to one photo per agency!
