You are correct on that. Especially, when Transit agencies would paint them in this tuxedo scheme with their local insignia. Night time, You'd hear that loud, roaring 6v92, and see nothing. Then, a set of cab lights, 40 ft apart with a center set, comes out of the Shadows, and is gone before you can blink. Phantom indeed🎉
