Legal Issue Forces Repainting of Used DART Buses

It seems yellow is just the wrong color for the buses that the regional transit authority in the Myrtle Beach area recently bought.

The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that Coast RTA earlier this year bought five buses from the Dallas Area Rapid Transit agency. But now the local transportation agency has to spend an additional $25,000 to repaint the buses.

They don't like DART yellow, apparently.

That may be fine here in Dallas, but in South Carolina there's a law that any bus that carries more than 14 people may not be painted yellow unless it's a school bus.
