BusHunter Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I came across this crazy looking bus, that runs in Vegas, that says it's a streetcar/tram but it is actually a diesel bus. It runs with an ISE/Thundervolt transmission and is hybrid. I wonder what they are doing with no more ISE around? I guess you could call this bus light rail on a budget!! Between the monorail, the double decker buses and this Vegas must have the weirdest transit fleet anywhere. http://www.cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Regional_Transportation_Commission_of_Southern_Nevada_011-060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pace831 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Of all the times I've been to Vegas, I've never had a chance to ride their transit system unless you count the monorail. The double deckers and the "streetcars" look like fun. I hope I can make another trip out there soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Essentially just a BRT style articulated bus; not much different from Cleveland's Healthline. Wrightbus is the same company that provided the kits put on Optima chassis. Update: Also when someone mentions a streetcar that's not a streetcar, I think more of the Schaumburg or Elkhart trolley, not an imitation of a 2014 Bombardier.

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Reminds me of the "Railcad Trolley T2" from a transport simulation game I play, only that fictional vehicle actually uses trolley wires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
