To cast out the net a little further "Valley Metro" didn't exist prior to 1993. The only operator of heavy-duty transit buses prior to that was Phoenix Transit System.* Scottsdale Connection operated some Blue Birds. Tempe operated some smaller buses. Phoenix did operate routes into the surrounding cities, and eventually operated services exclusively for Tempe and Glendale.The first "new" transits to wear Valley Metro colors were the 4000 series New Flyers. And the lone Neoplan AN440. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_Metro_(Phoenix) if you would like to cull information from there. |
