Copyright
Please read the general disclaimer for information regarding copyright of photographs.
Photo Name
Photographs are to be named with the transit agency and the fleet number in the title.
There should also be a suffix added after the fleet number to allow for more than one photo of the same vehicle to be uploaded.
For example: Mississauga Transit 0109-a.JPG
- DO NOT upload a new image and replace an already used suffix.
For further details please refer to the Naming Conventions page.
Photo Size
No thumbnails are to be uploaded as photos may be used for other pages where a larger size is required, for example manufacturer's pages, bus model pages, and the feature photo page
