Humphrey GoBart Makes Wikipedia
It's nice to know that some part of my past is recorded in the annals of Wikipedia for posterity, here. I cannot find any pictures of the old HGB on Google, but this one is close. Except, this red one has no air conditioning unit on top, and it is red rather than the cream color the HGB's were.
This one is pretty good, too, except it also does not have the A/C unit mounted on the roof in the rear.
One story about those days: one of our young, hot-shot drivers named Mike, once drove one of the Go-Barts into a parking garage that did nto have enough clearance, and he was going so fast he tore the A/C unit off the roof of the bus.
Here's a drawing of an outline of the bus, complete with rear A/C unit.
Those were good days! They make Captain GoBart misty-eyed with the fond memories.

Pictures!!!
I spent many summer days at the Lawrence Hall of Science learning how to program computers when I was in grade school in the early 70's. I'd take BART from Lafayette to the Shattuck BART station and ride up to LHS on the GO-BART. Great memories, and I FINALLY found some pictures!
