SMART in the Detroit area acquired in 2013 40 former Detroit Department of Transportation D40LFs, but they sat idle until last month when they started entering revenue service with SMART. None of these photos are mine, but here's what they now look like, starting with the exterior: The interior hasn't changed much from when they were in service with DDOT however. More will be entering service soon and also they're expecting to get over 100 new Gillig BRTs over the next couple years. Edited by MattBOnboardBus2100, Mar 17 2016, 01:34 PM.
