[REPAINT] MiWay - Friendly Operator! (Orion VII "3G" 1004)

On the same day when I first spotted 1004, I had a run-in with a friendly operator (someone also asked for the channel too before I rolled the cameras! 🙈) who was on a layover... got a handful of great photos (and some thumbs ups!), thank you for your service and kindness! 🙏
1004 is part of a 20 BRT bus order awarded to Orion Bus Industries (OBI) by MiWay in 2009 for their Orion VII 07.501 (VII) EPA10 model with BRT roof-streamlining. These units are painted in the blue MiExpress livery, but are in the process of getting repainted orange for brand consistency amongst the fleet.
This was recorded on March 21, 2024 on an iPhone 15 Pro.

Blue is a really nice colour to work with in general, you aren’t the only one who’ll miss the brand!
