Charlie Davis at the seat of his bus on his last day driving on run #07 on current route 8, 26 FE 03, retiring from Metro after more than 30 years of driving trolleys and some diesel buses for Metro. His Metro number was 648, now retired. He drove the Twins, Pullmans, and the Brill 798 before they were taken out of service. Since then he drove the AMGs and MANs in regular service, and occasion one of the Bredas. I have known Charlie since 1952 and have ridden several of his buses. I'm sure he will miss driving them. Best of luck to you in your retirement.--Richard.
