Martin Owens noticed this unusual bus at Ashmont this morning doing shuttle duty as part of the MBTA's Mattapan/Red Line shuttle service.

Thats the bus line from MCO airport (orlando) to the Disney parks. Disney used to operate a free shuttle operated by the same company but Disney revoked that perk and now visitors have to buy a ticket for the Sunshine Express into the Disney bubble.

I also dream of buses becoming trains (Or at least BRT)

After Disney stopped offering their own complimentary shuttles from the airport, Sunshine Flyer was one of the bus companies to run shuttles from Orlando Airport to WDW resorts. They had a theme where the bus was supposed to look like a train and the drivers dress like train conductors. They merged with Mears recently, and apparently didn't need all of the buses.
