From that external link, shouldn't this be at TheBus (no space)? That would also make it clear that it's not just any bus. Dori | Talk 17:04, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
- I'm going by the way the Honolulu City Charter officially recognizes it in law as The Bus (with a space). Gerald Farinas 17:14, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
TheTrasit buses repurposed to the CityExpress routes, are diesel-electric, not gasoline electric (from my memory, also noted in http://starbulletin.com/2005/04/23/news/story9.html), fixed.
TheTransit, Route E, service lasted from November '04 to June '05, not "2 months" as stated, fixed (see http://starbulletin.com/2004/11/19/news/story3.html (debut), and http://www.thebus.org/New/new.asp (shows discontinuation effective 6/12/05).
Although it may be reffered to with a space in the city charter, it is overwhelmingly more written without the space in OTS's own signage and timetables, as well as most media articles in the local papers, and the websites of local TV stations. Typing as one word with mixed-capitalization also helps to distingush that it is a brand name, as it is, opposed to a bus in general.
Futhermore, the current incarnation of TheBus, as operated by public-benefit corporation Oahu Transit Services is different than the preceding service outlined in the city charter. ryank808 | Talk 02:36, Jul 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] ‘America's Best Transit System’
What is it that is special about this bus network that won it this title despite its lack of higher-end services? The article seems quite incomplete without this information. David Arthur 02:06, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
The photo linked on bus says that TheBus was disqualified from some award. I was hoping that this article might say why, but it doesnt.
