I recall that 45 and 61 was still Tempe at the time MV picked up the RPTA contract. The Valley Coach (Veolia) buses were staged out of a lot on S 44th St - MV took over the contract in two stages. At the end, the 44th St operation was closed. Pretty much everything east of 48th St. was RPTA (MV). MV had to bring in some Foothill Transit Phantoms as spares. It was after the contract was turned back over to Veolia that 72 & 81 were traded for 45 & 61.I can't remember exactly the deal with the Express runs...RPTA used to contract with Phoenix Transit, and they were using MAN articulateds. When the NABI compos arrived, they could not be used on non-Phoenix routes, so the RPTA express routes had to use its own equipment. |
