Challenge 857: On the buses
Bus builder Arrival has announced that its first entirely electric bus will take to the streets of London later this year. And they've published this image of the prototype.

Clearly they haven't got around to designing the livery yet. Can you do better than dull grey?

High res is here.

I thought from the tiny image here it was a black and white photo.

Upon download the full res I see it's colour! Bizarre ......

..... or have you been playing with it for the challenge?

Unretouched! Yes, it’s a colour image.

Re: Challenge 857: On the buses
Britains right wing government has imposed its newly found nationalist love of flags upon London Transport.

This Proved to be a case of 'seemed like good idea at the time'. A rather silly lightweight idea that proved to be a really rather heavyweight task to pull off. Took forever!

What is it with everything being grey now? Every other shop and pub is being painted one of forty shades of grey at the moment. Its like being surrounded by battleships.

Re: Challenge 857: On the buses
Trying to figure out what is actual bus, what is reflection, what is refraction, what is transparency and what is bus interior drove me nuts on this one so I have called it a day at this point

Me too! There appears to be glazing extending down over body work. Very hard to tell what's what.

Sadly Boris had never been one to pay attention to anything but himself.

With many grateful thanks to Loyd for giving me the splendid 'dangerous while charging' idea to plagiarise!

Yikes!! You're welcome David, and such a fine job of it too...

I see that your guy is still trying to figure out how this mask thing is supposed to work...

Added adverts, modified lights and lighting and that does it for me...

Ω my god! The shock generated by this series of parallel alternating puns about a bus with no conductor has the direct power and capacitance to induce an arcing desire to vault over any impedance or resistance and transform my usually dimmed and grounded trickle of energy into something more signal and electrifying.

But I must insulate myself before I blow a fuse and get charged with battery by the circuit judge and thrown into an ever ready cell with no contact like a common joule thief. I am so wired and incandescent I need to switch off and power down.

I make that 37!!

Watt a phase I am going through!! (39).
