It says #1 has a service disruption now too.

Wolverine #350 and #355 cancelled til mid September.

uhh they do.

I like this. The oldest probably pollute more so this will be a benefit.

How about sell wrap around advertising space on passenger cars? San Diego's Coaster does that. Another idea is giving brands their names on routes in exchange for money, i.e. the Under Armour Texas Eagle.
