 Gillig 5589 heading for Oakland. |
 The same bus is seen again a couple of days later arriving along Liberty Avenue by the Greyhound Terminal. Its "GO BUCS" destination is a message of encouragement to Pittsburgh Pirates the local Major League Baseball club. The Pirates are often referred to as the "Bucs" or sometimes the "Buccos", derived from "buccaneer", an alternative name for a pirate. |
 Swinging into Liberty Avenue is 5615. Though it does not state it, its "tomato soup" livery could be seen as a tribute to food manufacturer, Heinz, a company which was established in Pittsburgh. |
 Sister vehicle 5617 is appropriately loading outside the Heinz Healey's store. |
 Here 5617 is seen again in the morning rush hour entering the city on Liberty Avenue, pursued by a Westmoreland Transit MCI commuter coach. |
