[j45007]

Hello "SRV32566". It is Santa Rosa City, not County. The County is called Sonoma. Thanks for viewing. -BOGAR!

I used to rely on Santa Rosa Citybus to get around and befriended many of the drivers. One mentioned how the numbers releated to the year the city acquired them. This coach, #911, was the first of the coaches the city got in 1991. They had Gilligs from 1984 (#'s 841-846), 1987 (#'s 871-874), and then 1991 (#'s 911-913). In 98' the fleet changed to low-floor.

I loved the sound these busses made vs. that of the the Grunman Flexables S.R. ran during the same time.

I live in a Santa Rosa city bus. Converted it into a rv. My bus is a 1983 Grumman. The biggest issues with it is the electrical. Other than that it rocks. I had to replace the 24volt starter in it which was a pain in the ass. Only cause my bed us in the way of the service access pannel.
