A bus that loves art and volunteers with students? Swoon! 😍
OmniRide is our transit crush of the month for their work with a local community college on beautifying bus shelters through their Art That Moves Us initiative. They put the "art" in heart and we'd like to put the "us" in bus 😉

But seriously folks, how can a bus with a generous aisle and two double rows of seats fit in the same lane as a minivan? The math ain't mathin'.
