This bus was purchased from a bus company in Reno, Nevada. It was towed from Reno to Perris. This was an interesting bus, originally sold to Gold Gate Transit. It was a standard transit but had extra plush interior. This bus was mostly used on local run in Marin County.

Upon arrival to our yards in Perris, it had several maintenance 8issues. I had to change out the transmission, alternator, starter and, later, the differential. After it settled down, we ran it for many years.

Bus #613 was sold to Justin of Electric Highways of Washinton, DC. The bus was later converted with tables for a mobile restaurant. I drove it back to Washinton, DC. A few years later is was driven to Arizona for a restaurant there.
