To make my bestie @researchbuzz happy with a bus pic here is in the link a pic of the Heuliez GX 127 nΒ°192 of SETA Piacenza in service on the urban line 4 of Piacenza. This bus is part of a batch of 5 buses bought in 2019 from RTM Marseille

@elleci42a That's pretty, though isn't the livery a bit different from what you usually show me?

Also those streetlights behind it greatly confused me for a moment. πŸ˜‚

@researchbuzz Yes, this is the livery of both the SETA Piacenza and SETA Reggio Emilia buses. As you may not know SETA is a public transport company which serves three provinces of Emilia-Romagna: Modena, Reggio Emilia and Piacenza. It has been proposed to Parma to join SETA but they declined the proposal and they remained on their own

@researchbuzz They mount a straight-6 cylinder Diesel engine FPT Tector 6 of 5880 cmΒ³ and 220 PS and a 4 speed Allison automatic transmission

@elleci42a Why didn't Parma want to join? They wanted to keep doing things their own way?

@researchbuzz Yes, they weren't interested at the time SETA was created (1/1/2013)

@researchbuzz There are plans to create a regional public transport company which would absorb the existing companies (SETA, TEP, TPER and START Romagna)

@elleci42a That seems like it would be easier on the customers. If you lived in that area and had to jump between two different bus companies in such a small area -- that seems like it would be annoying.

@researchbuzz To be honest there is an integrated fare system in my region that allows the use of tickets of each operator with all the operators as they have equal fares and identical validators (made by the former Xerox company ACS, now spun off and renamed Conduent)

@elleci42a Ah, so it's not so difficult for the customers, then? That's good. Y'all have much better bus systems than we do. Here, you have to go downtown to switch buses, but just getting downtown is a 30-minute ride for me!

@researchbuzz Oh, I see. In the meantime I just commissioned a drawing of Ken from Animal Crossing to another great artist. Her name is Mirelle, she's from New Jersey and she's half Cuban and half American.

Here is her Instagram account
