Posted by RailBus63 on Wed Mar 14 12:56:31 2012, in response to Re: MTA procurement, 690 (40') low floor buses & 285 Express buses orders, posted by The Flxible Neofan on Wed Mar 14 10:13:26 2012. edf40wrjww2msgDetailB:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d The only news that has been reported is about Millennium sending a demo bus for the RBO to check out. The MTA documents seem pretty clear that the ongoing bus evaluation programs will be the basis for awarding contracts for new bus purchases. No contract with Millennium has been approved by the MTA board. Unless one or both of these procurements are significantly delayed, I don't see how Millennium can get a deal done and 90 buses built, delivered and tested in time to be considered this time around.

I have doubts a Gillig BRT would be part of this order. Then again in the world of transit anything can happen, so I'll just play the waiting game like everyone else.
