Two buses on two routes serving a similar purpose. Both routes connect Downtown Vancouver with pick-up only service via Hastings, until reaching Coquitlam.
The 190 is the faster bus, with only three stops all for pick-up only for nearly 20 kilometres along Hastings Street and the Barnet Highway. The route skips 8 suburban express stops and over 30 local stops. It certainly is a unique experience skipping so many stops in an urban environment.
Of note are the bus types used. Typically, it is the slower (and normally busier) 160 that receives the articulated bus, while the 190 receives a conventional 40-foot bus.
Originally created for the Bricklink Deisgner Program. I made it like the sign I have in my van.

I had to go to Las Vegas for a conference. I decided to drive because I remembered years earlier in Barstow this cool Route 66 sign.
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be there anymore. A local told me there had been a fire in part of the motel complex and they must have torn it all down. I should have taken the picture the first time.
There were a couple of Route 66 signs but none as classical as the one I was looking for but hey since I was there I figure I would shoot some. Around this sign there was a street light pole that was really hindering making a good composition and it was throwing a harsh light on the unlit sign.
When I got this into the computer I did not think much of it but it had an eye appeal that drew your attention into it.
So I played with the contrast and saturation to see if I could make an abstract image. As I worked on the image I began to like it more and more. It started portraying the rural desolate nature of the high desert community.
Here is the final version!
71A Group's D6515 'Lt Jenny Lewis RN' (33012) gets away from Warminster working 1Z84, the return leg of UK Railtour's 'By Routemaster to the Lost Village of Imber' tour. Sandwiched between the crompton and 73107 'Tracey' is a 4TC unit.
Originating at Waterloo as 1Z82, the excursion ran to Warminster from where customers were able to take advantage of a trip to the village of Imber, a few miles away on the south western border of Salisbury Plain aboard an AEC Routemaster, the archetypal London double-decker bus.
The village of Imber is uninhabited having been taken over in late 1943 by the Ministry of Defence for training of troops for the invasion of Europe. In the intervening years several attempts by former residents to return have been rebuffed by the MOD but on certain days in the year public access is granted.

Oct. 21, 2021: Route 66 El Trovatore Motel in Kingman, Arizona. Developer John F. Miller from 1937-40, built the motel, gas station, and cafe. Celebrities staying at the motel included Jeff Chandler, Charles Bronson, Jane Russell, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, and Don Knotts. Unfortunately, in later years, the motel fell into disrepair.
But about a decade ago, the rundown property was closed and facing foreclosure. Sam and Monica Frisher took over the motel in 2012 and renovated it - twenty rooms became Hollywood-themed rooms. In addition, workers repaired old signs and murals. Painters added new murals. A 206-foot Route 66 map decorates one side of the main motel building.
Seen turning onto Creekmoor Lane from what is called locally the bus bridge on Monday 9 September 2013 is More Scania N94 East Lancashire Omnidekka 1022 YN06JWG working the Route-4 10.48 Broadstone Broadway to Poole service.
The contract for route 135 was taken over by Go-Ahead Docklands Buses from Arriva London North on Saturday 23rd May. A temporary allocation of ADL Enviro400s, made spare by the conversion of route 12 to New Routemaster operation, was used initially, but the batch of 14 ADL Enviro400 MMC-bodied Volvo B5LH hybrids have now arrived and are being phased into service at Go-Ahead's Silvertown base. EHV4 is seen at the Crossharbour ASDA terminus on Monday 29th June. The Enviro400s are moving on to the Metrobus base at Beddington (Croydon) where they will displace Scania OmniDekkas for further service in Go-Ahead-owned fleets outside London.
