Posted by PHXTUSbusfan on Thu Aug 21 01:30:28 2008, in response to Re: Valley Metro questions (mainly historical), posted by roscoman1986 on Thu Aug 21 01:13:45 2008. Unfortunately, I never were able to ride any of the ex-Foothill Phantoms or 961-967. I saw the 35' Phantoms on the 60 and 80 (which are the two routes I believe they generally were confined to). The only Valley Metro Gilligs I ever was on were an ex-Hertz ones on the 81.Honestly, the summer of 2005 was a bad time for the East Valley. First, most of the Tempe division buses (as well as a good portion of the RPTA fleet) had broken destination signs and were signed up with those large yellow route number signs. Second, the RPTA 1994 D40LFs were driving around with their engine compartment doors open. Third, there was a mismatch of buses running around with these ex-Foothill Gilligs and the Hertz Gilligs that barely looked like transit buses. Also, didn't the NovaBus RTSs replace the ex-Foothill and ex-Hertz Gilligs. I never saw a Valley Metro Gillig after those buses came in (although I only spent a VERY small amount of time in the Phoenix area in 2006). |
