Modern transit buses cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each. When a bus route shuts down it’s not economical to just scrap the vehicles. Instead, they’re usually sold or donated to other agencies.

Earlier this year the City of Falls Church discontinued its ‘George’ bus service, which ran between East and West Falls Church Metro stations. What happened to their buses? Take a look at this:

Notice anything familiar? That’s the same bus, repainted as part of the Arlington Transit fleet.
