Posted by rionOne on Mon Nov 3 08:18:07 2008 Here is a artist rendering from DesignLine of how our 30 Hybrids will look. I guess the order went through... Regards, Trevor Logan, Jr. www.ttmg.org |

Betcha that glass, in the front door becomes 4 pieces and the glass in the rear door becomes 2 shorter pieces, in the final production version.Why only 30? |

Not an expert, but based on New Jersey Transit's recent NABI troubles, and the MCI thing, I think they want to work out the kinks first with a smaller fleet instead of holding up a larger order. |

If molded correctly by Jimson and striped correctly by Royal Coach, FJ Buses or other model distributors, this should be a winner with the mirrors attached. |

I actually liked that particular bus. Very quiet, smooth, and comfortable. Hopefully DesignLine's 40-foot bus has those qualities as well. |

Interesting - I didn't realize they were ordering these! The rendering looks good, but we'll have to wait to see how the actual demo would look.It reminds me strongly of the Optima Opus, and it's shape is truly RTS - like. Can't wait to see and ride them in service! |
