I went to the Oakland Pride Parade, which proceded on Broadway from 22nd to 14th Streets. Among the participants were two transit agencies, AC Transit (who merely brought one of their mini Gillig buses) and BART (who brought their famous BARTmobile, complete with rainbow top hat).

When it finished, I rode BART back to the car at Bay Fair. After lunch in Castro Valley, I drove over to Redwood Rd. and Grove Way to photograph a couple of GoSFO employee shuttles. Took the 580, 205, 5, 120, and 99 freeways to Turlock. The local transit system does not run on Sundays, but county service by StanRTA to Modesto and Merced The Bus serve the city. I got shots of The Bus route T, then StanRTA buses on the 29T and 45 lines.

Stopped by Delhi to get the last northbound T. Continued to Merced. I was too late to get any local or intercity buses there, but I did wait for two late Amtrak California San Joaquin evening trains, the 718 southbound and the 703 northbound between Oakland and Bakersfield.

Nikon D5600 camera yielded 361 photos.
