Bus, Local Transit Bus & Apportioned Bus
	October 1999, wide dies Picture from eBay This type is not as common as I thought it would be. I've only seen a few of them in use and never had a chance to photograph one. Most buses around here have municipal plates, apportioned bus plates (see below) or just passenger plates.
	Undated, narrow dies Collection of the author I'm not exactly sure when the transition was made from wides to narrow dies.
	Undated, wide dies Private ALPCA collection I believe local transit bus plates are usually in the 000A format.
	May 2007, narrow dies, new style sticker Photographed in use I believe this is an error plate, because the plate on the back of the van had a normal wide dies bus plate with no Local Transit caption. I suspect this plate is a remake, that was made incorrectly. Furthermore, regular bus plates use A000, not 000A like Local Transit.
	August 2005, wide dies, new style sticker Photographed in use This is a nifty type that few states have. However, this plate type is much more common than the standard bus plate pictured above. Most charter buses I see sport these plates, though like the well driller plates I have only seen examples on the wide dies base. This plate in particular is especially interesting because of the sticker, which used the very limited Times New Roman style font (which is now probably covered up since this picture was taken years ago).
	Undated narrow dies sample Picture from Manny Jacob - ALPCA #6050 Sample version of the plate type above. This plate was made using narrow dies, though I have never seen a narrow dies example on the road.
