The buses in the local bus system here are all, mostly, named after colors. Red, Green, Purple, Blue, Orange, etc, and then you have my favorite, Express, because it makes fewer stops. Yesterday I was on my way to the shelter when I saw that a bus had already pulled up to the traffic circle. I started walking faster so I could read the LED sign on the back that tells you which bus it is, but the sign was out. As I hurried closer, hoping it wasn’t Purple and ready to leave, I saw that in the dirt in the back, somebody had carefully etched the word “Pink.”
