Great drawings. I like the vintage buses way better than the new ones.
Great drawing, but the vintage buses are a disaster! So much more noise and pollution pumping out of those things. I miss my streetcars.
Too bad Jerry wasn’t around to do these drawings back when all the PCCs were running. Those would be awesome drawings! The old bus is nice too, since they’ll soon be gone and left with a pile of ugly boxes on wheels.
the older vehicles seemed to have great design flourishes that the TTC designers colored boldly.
remember wine (red) + yellow (ocher) + black
it was a bit somber but very strong design.
the red white and black is working really well on most of the current fleet, but the big square shapes of the modern buses are not that great to draw.
Great capture of the classic “fishbowl” design, Jerry, my compliments.
