Remaining Valley Metro Tempe NABI LFWs?

I was wondering, does anyone know how many NABI LFWs still operate for the Valley Metro Tempe division? The last few times I have been to Tempe I haven't seen any.

I know that the Tempe division began phasing them out ever since the 2011 New Flyer C40LFRs and DE60LFRs arrived. How many of the Tempe NABI LFWs still remain in service, and which ones are they?

Which particular ones are still in service? I presume most of the pre-2000 units are gone.

I believe the ones that are in service are the rehabbed ones. Route 62 seems to still be mostly NABIs.

Does anyone know which fleet numbers are the rehabbed ones?

I thought they all were. Remember that several of the original 40LFWs were Flash...they were repainted. Then the lower 35LFWs were made Flash.

I don't believe the Scottsdale or RPTA buses that were operated from the Tempe garage have been rehabbed...none were repainted.

I don't think that the Scottsdale or RPTA buses are still operating in the Tempe division. I believe they both were retired around the time of the service cutbacks.

I thought I saw (at least) the RPTA 40LFWs running on 81 until the 2011 C40LFRs arrived. Probably been at least 6 months.
