 On the first Sunday in November 2019, and like every other Sunday, the Salesforce Transit Center is deserted. It is much the same between the rush hours and late evenings!

 The departure bays are a long way upstairs! The bus deck of the building is on the 3rd floor (bear in mind Americans count the ground floor as Level 1). However the ceiling heights are more than usual. This escalator takes you from the Grand Central Hall direct to the 3rd floor bus deck. Above the bus deck is a car park and on top of the building is a roof garden with 600 trees, including redwood and monkey puzzle from Chile. Forests of bamboo line some of the paths plus great views of the skyway from Bay Bridge to the Bus Terminal.

 Seen in the eighties at the San Francisco Transbay Terminal is 1625 of 1978. The articulated MAN-AMG SG220 is one of several that entered service across the US at the time. AC Transit pioneered the use of articulated buses in the US with the GM XMC77. |
 AC Transit was a loyal GM customer from its inception. New Look 987 of 1972 is seen in the Transbay Terminal. |
 In 1974 AC Transit took a batch of 120 Flxible, Gilligs not appearing till 1983, but no more GM buses were purchased after 1973. The GM RTS model never served in the AC fleet. This pair of Flxibles, 269 and 201, is seen together in the Transbay Terminal in the eighties. |
