Notes:
This colorful bus was exhibited to promote the use of propane as a clean-air alternative fuel.  The bus chassis is a GMC C5500, with a gasoline engine that has been converted to propane.  The bus body is built by Canadian manufacturer Les Enterprises Michael Corbeil, Ltd.  Although common in many states, Corbeil buses are a relatively rare sight here in Texas.  This bus is also unusual because it is a "Type A" bus, on a cutaway chassis with a left-side driver's door -- But it has a much higher capacity (60 passengers) than a typical "Type A" minibus.  According to the exhibitors, this bus has traveled over 20,000 miles on propane around the country to various trade shows and exhibitions.  The map above the windshield inside the bus shows all the places the bus has traveled to.
