Anyway back to class, 

Got another update from TTC's Fleet roster on Wikipedia.

IDK if this is part of the end of the specialty electric bus assemblers. At the time, Toronto had ordered, on an equal basis, Proterras, BYDs, and NFs, but soon cut back on the BYDs. Now it has large orders of NFs and Novas. There was the SEPTA debacle for whatever cause. BC Transit disaffirmed in the bankruptcy case, because of product defects. Pace's order supposedly went from "soon on the line" in early 2024 to "4 buses on the line" a couple of months ago. The CTA count (according to the 2025 Budget) is down from 23 to 20. According to @maths22's Run History, 15 have recently been in service, which is better than it was. (One has been reported in training.) No word on the other 22 on order. Your Miami-Dade post establishes that NF can deliver, and we'll have to see if Pace's Gilligs are delivered before the PhoenixEVs.
