I saw BRT 29729 last night implying they have at least 29723-29729. The Northwestern document I found said one of the BRT is hybrid for the Ryan Field, Evanston to Chicago Campus Shuttle. Anyone have any idea where the Gillig Low Floors came from - I assume they are not new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't, since the BRT models are not that prevalent (RGRTA said they cost more) and certainly not near their 12 year service lives.

Busjack Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Looking at novabus.com, I didn't see anything on the SEPTA rumor. However, you can purchase a scale model Nova from them for $79.95. No indication that you can get them in CTA colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might bite if it was $40-$50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
