Happy Pride! I was onboard with ‪@chrisontransit‬ and ‪@vonbstransitpage‬!

I was very fortunate enough to be invited for this private ride on the 1975 AMG 9635-6 after it finished walking on the parade! If y'all remember, this is not my first time riding an exclusive trip, but it was the Neoplan #8330 (see that video here:    • ⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ (SPECIAL) Exercise and Bus Wash ...  ) in Islais Creek. The difference is where this bus will be maintained and added to the heritage fleet, while that Neoplan is already bought by another owner.

Since the parade ended at 8th St, this bus was told to make a left onto 8th and stop there for wrapping up the walk. We then started moving and headed down on 8th St towards Howard, make a right turn there, then another right on 11th to avoid the traffic on 9th St, then a left onto Market and a sharp right onto Van Ness BRT. It feels nice to ride a heritage bus on a "sort-of-new" Van Ness BRT and you can hear that this bus sounds good too!
