Yeah, emissions wasn't really an issue around here, especially throughout the state itself. As for your question, you're going to find that information via this link.http://www.miamidadetransit.com/9200page.html Lynx use to have 16 CNG buses (six of which were 30 foot Orion Vs that ran on local routes, while the rest were 35 foot New Flyers that ran on the Lymmo route for their entire careers). The end of the CNG program came in 2009, due to high maintenance costs. The Orion V CNGs were retired in 2005, before the mass retirement of the diesel Orions and 1994-1995 Phantoms. The CNG New Flyers went between 2008-2009. Looking at how Gillig now does CNG, it appears we may give it a shot again. If not this year, than it could be next year we could see CNG buses again. |
