New bus stop.

"Bell pushing V-22 as possible Greyhound replacement".



But doesn't that mean they will have to move the bus depot from down town to the airport?

Breathe
(Waters, Gilmour, Wright) 2:44

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
.............

Bell offer a replacement for greyhound buses.

Pprune posters see the bell offering as a replacement for the greyhound at greyhound racing tracks......hence the rabbit will have no chance.

Does that help you out Fatter ?

Actually, bs1968, Bell offered this as a Grumman C-2A Greyhound COD aircraft replacement... the OP made a joke conflating the Greyhound bus company with the USN aircraft of the same name, and the humorists (myself included) were "off and running" with references to the racing dog of the same name (which chase a fake rabbit around the track, or real rabbits when used as hunting dogs).

Note, however, that my offering brought back the connection with aircraft (or at least with flying).
