Comments on: Pierce Transit: What Not to Wear http://blog.figuringshitout.com/pierce-transit-what-not-to-wear/ Ideas, thoughts and my attempts to figure shit out Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:30:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Pierce Operator http://blog.figuringshitout.com/pierce-transit-what-not-to-wear/comment-page-1/#comment-970 Pierce Operator Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:05:43 +0000 http://xyfu.bumblebeelabs.com/?p=128#comment-970 As an operator for both Pierce Transit and Sound Transit I found this to be quite humorus. While the new Pierce Transit paint sceme is better than the old, it still leaves a lot to be desired. The most common comment I get is how the sceme makes the coach look like its frowning when looking at the front. As for the pink lights, we fought hard and long for those. The pink lights dramaticly cut down on internal glare on the windshield. With white lights the glare can make it almost impossible to see, most notably when its raining. Even tough the front lights go out when the doors are closed, the lights behind those still caused problems. Pierce Transit and the operators agreed that its pretty important. Even though most riders don't care for the pink lights, I think they would agree as well, that seeing whats going on outside the coach is a good thing.
