    This morning, CU user “Lucky Parrot” emailed us some photos of the new buses from the COTA garages where they await deployment. The buses look to be a little smaller than the standard fleet, and run on Compressed Natural Gas. The special branding includes the Downtown Circulator name on the side along with an easy to understand map of the connected neighborhoods.
