So then that means that bus is back in town....again.Well, with the NovaBUS order in the works and the MTA looking to replace articulateds in the next few years, I guess DBNA is looking for input and feedback or some further testing towards development of the Orion low-floor articulated to compete with the LFS...after all, both have plants in New York State... |

I was wondering if that BUILD IN NY rule is constitutional. If another company can low bid and lose that seems wrong. Has any company tried to argue this in court ? And companies moving plants to NY to get the contracts. Seems like there could be a valid argument there. If NJ had this they would be out of luck . |

Maybe it's only the MTA that has that "Built in NY" claus, because almost every other TA in NY is going Gillig and/or NABI. ALbany, Syracuse, Rochester, Poukeepsie, Oneonta, and Suffock are now Gillig and Westchester is NABI.. Binghampton is back to Orion. |

The Citaro came first, and are actually very nice buses. I rode several of them in europe this past year. Not totally sure how they would handle heavy duty, lax maintance US use though, although since they would have to recieve mod's to run in the US (EPA 2010 engines, ADA, etc) who knows? |
