I took this photo after work one evening back in May of 2009.
Seen here is My former regular bus I wa assigned to operate, First Transit 2001 Chevrolet paratransit bus # 5094. This bus is viewed parked behind the mechanic's garage, after mechanical difficulties were detected on this days run.
This bus was retired in October of 2009 after numerous visits to the mechanic's garage in recent years. This bus frequently experienced mechanical failures toward the end, and was retired upon the arrival of several new and used buses with low mileage that were obtained.

What kind of mileage did it retire with?
I believe that it was somewhere around 264,000 miles on the Odometer. It was a good bus while it lasted, but age and mechanical issues eventually caught up with it.
I like the new Fords better.
Thanks.
