I suspect that Lamers Bus Lines, Inc. (golamers.com) may be the most disproportionately photographed bus line in America by young Internet-savvy photographers.
These photographs, and many more, are taken from Flickr:
When it comes to the most insulting bus company, however, the unfortunate typography that rendered the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority buses dangerously close to “puta” may give Lamers a run for their money in Spanish speaking communities.
I believe you meant “spanish and portuguese”.
Evan: These were used when I was in the valley between 1999 and 2003. They moved to the new logo at some point between then and now.

Fucker bus!
I don’t believe any currently active PVTA buses have that livery anymore…at least, it doesn’t look familiar to me. The newest buses use the slightly goofy purple-and-orange logotype. When is that picture from?
I had many crass names for the PVTA buses when I lived in the valley, but “puta” never actually crossed my mind… good call.
If you want to pull down a bazillion photos from Flickr like this, use my script.
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘net/flickr’
flickr = Net::Flickr.new(’3157869c86ca1660c87107dcb3783cb6′)
flickr.photos.search(‘text’ => ‘lamers bus’ ).each{|photo|
puts photo.source_url(:large)
}
I am also easily amused by the “K Line” trucks, such as this one…
