New Flyer notes

[rmadisonwi]

New Flyer recently worked out a deal with OC Transpo where NF will take back all of OC Transpo's 226 D60LFs from 2001-2004 (how interesting, a system with 226 of a particular type of artic) and sell them 306 DE60LFRs.

They are now trying to resell those D60LFs:

Meanwhile, MVTA will demo the New Flyer Xcelsior bus:

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if RGRTA decided to pick up a few. They did have an RFP for used artics a while back.

Earlier today, heading out to Belvidere on I-90, I passed four MCI OTR coaches heading to Baltimore MTA and two New Flyer D60LF (new design) heading to OC Transpo.
