 Long lines of AC Transit buses were often seen in San Francisco at the Bay Area Terminal. The Terminal was the site of the downtown railway station at the end of the line, once accessed via the Bay Bridge until the track deck gave way to cars. The upper level of the Bay Area Terminal was serviced by what appeared to be a section of unfinished highway left as such from the 1989 earthquake. It provided an ideal parking lot for AC Transit vehicles on layover during the day off commuter runs from the Alameda suburbs to the east of downtown San Francisco. |
 Gillig Phantom, 1534, new in 1984, passes the line up of several similar buses as it arrives on one of the regular all day services bridging the Bay. |
 Seemingly over a thousand buses on from 1534 is 2634, new in 1990, which is heading this impressive line up on the other side of the Terminal Building. The fleet was around 700 buses, not one thousand! |
 Gillig 2844, a couple of years newer than 2634, displays the route "NL", lettering being common on services. |
 Gillig Phantom 1449 also dates from 1984 and is seen basking in the Californian sunshine. It seems the people of the state are not alone in enjoying its weather, pity the parking area does not have a nice sea view! |
