As we sort through the hundreds of photos pouring in of the aftermath of the great Boxing Day Blizzard of 2010 one image continues to stand out to us: The stuck bus.
As far as we can tell buses of every kind across the city were simply unprepared for this here snowstorm. Now, though, a few are still trudging through town, just as many seemed to be stuck at a standstill this morning. To show what we're talking about we've thrown together the above gallery of just a few of them. Seen more? Send them to us ([email protected]) or just tag them "Gothamist" in flickr.
And yes, we know that last image isn't a bus, but still—abandoned wheelchairs?
