Hello JKJ Transit Followers!

It's been a while since I posted anything transit-related, but due to personal issues and not having my camera temporarily, I wasn't able to transit fan. Now, I have my camera with me! Charged. Hopefully, I can get out in the streets transit fanning.

JKJ Transit, sigining off.
