6:32-6:33 blinker sounds (maybe)
UPDATE: Those are NOT the blinker sounds for these 2016 articulated Flyers. I found out as I was boarding 8088 on the 19 (19th Ave), 8096 on the 50 (Camelback Rd), 8086 on the 27 (27th Ave), and 8095 and 8099 on the 70 (24th St/Glendale Ave).

right when you get to northern is where now youll be encountering all buses operating that route from the North yard only however route 19 is operated by both the north yard and the south yard

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

On what routes does Valley Metro use accordion buses/articulated buses/bendy buses?

[@MJofLakelandX]

Varies. It really just come down to which division or contractor has them in storage. I'd say the 3, 19, 27 are the "guaranteed" lines to find artics

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

@@MJofLakelandX and the 112 is a guaranteed line to catch one as well.

This bus is from the south division, not the west division
