Services

Fleet

A Broward County Transit bus in its previous honeycomb livery. The bus has since been retired.
A Broward County Transit bus in the original Breeze livery. The bus has since been retired.

Since 2000, BCT has developed themed liveries for each new fleet order. The previous generation, introduced in the early 1980s, did not have a name.

Bee Line generation

The Bee Line generation was first introduced in 1997, replacing older high-floor buses decorated with a split orange and blue stripe around the side. These low-floor buses were painted white with a yellow honeycomb pattern stripe on all sides. A cartoon bee character was also placed on each bus, and was later removed.

The Breeze generation

The Breeze generation was introduced in 2007 for two special limited-stop service routes on US 1 and US 441/SR 7, traversing from northern Broward County to northern Miami-Dade County. BCT has now[

NABI 40-LFW buses to the fleet. BCT introduced six New Flyer D60LFR
articulated buses for service on the US 441/SR 7 route. The new buses also feature free Wi-Fi to riders.

The Breeze generation 2007-2018 buses were originally painted in white with two blue arcs, one light and one dark. Later buses ordered and some of the older buses were painted in silver with two blue arcs, one light and one dark.

In 2008, BCT ordered 42 newly restyled 40 ft (12 m) low-floor NABIs, including 12 hybrid buses.[5][6]

Current Livery

The current livery was introduced in 2020 as part of the half-penny tax, also known as Penny for Transportation. The livery consists of the front and sides of the buses being painted silver with an orange and white stripe running across the side of the bus with the back of the bus being painted blue. The Broward County colors of orange, yellow, and white are shown via diagonal stripes parallel to each other on the front and rear quarter panels off the bus.

This paint scheme was introduced on BCT's 147 2020

Gillig BRT
buses.
