What does it say about our community that we now take civic pride in our faux-trolleys? Someone at the phone book company thinks motorized, tire-based trolleys are sufficently "Louisville" that they are fit to grace the cover of a phone book. I'm surprised on two counts:

That someone would choose transit as an iconic representation of the values of our community is heartening.

And that they'd choose those rubber-tired, diesel-powered "trolleys" as the poster child validates the significant effort expended to make the trolleys look attractive. I'm guessing the disguise is not fooling the CART readership...but apperantly we're in the minority.

Here's hoping some intrepid stock photographer manages to capture the hybrid buses in such loving detail, and it makes it on the cover of the next phone book. Those buses are proud of what they are, and they're the best we've ever had.

Until we get the new batch, of course. :)
