Kooshmeister ◊ 2009-03-12 09:50	Yeah, it's on a cable system. Also, the first thumbnail shows the rear as it's entering the tunnel. -- Last edit: 2009-03-12 09:50:34
IRT_BMT_IND ◊ 2009-03-12 09:55	The internet tells me that the buses running in the tunnel when it opened (four months before the film was released) were called the "100 series" and built by a company called Osaka Sharyo, but I can't find any photos.

IRT_BMT_IND ◊ 2009-08-25 04:10	I finally found a picture of one of these buses (on the operators website), so we can now be sure this ID is 100% accurate. -- Last edit: 2009-08-25 04:10:45
