It was 2656 buses that had been delivered and had to be returned to Grumman for the A-Frame retrofit. That included 637 NYCTA buses (of the 837-bus order). The buses that were built but not delivered were kept at the factory to get their A-Frames retrofitted. For NYCTA, the remaining 200 Grumman 870 buses were the group that had wheelchair lifts (NYCTA 453-552 & MABSTOA 811-910). In NYC the Grumman Flxibles for the DOT PBLs were also delivered later with the A-Frame retrofit in place. |
