Posted by roscoman1986 on Sat Sep 27 16:10:45 2008, in response to Sun Trans (Tucson) Buses Observations 9_26_2008, posted by transitbusfan on Sat Sep 27 15:03:57 2008. Unfortunately, they are going to continue to order Gilligs for 40-foot service. Hopefully they will have BRT styling like the 35-foot Mountain Line Gillig BRT hybrid that they demonstrated back in April. Unfortunately, they will be biodiesel rather than hybrid. Interestingly, I remember seeing a picture of a New Flyer Invero demonstrator back at a Sun Tran yard in 2004. Apparently they decided to go with Gillig but that was the closest that they got to ordering New Flyer low floors.As for D60LFRs, I don't know which, if any, routes warrant articulateds now (perhaps PHXTUSbusfan can answer this for me), and unfortunately I don't think if they get artics they will get 30 of them (I could be completely wrong, however). A D60LFR would look great in Sun Tran paint though! |
