WTF happen to Orion?.

1. They were too expensive to outbid Gillig for small TA orders

2. They had two big customers in MTA and TTC, but let too many of the other top 50 fleets get away

3. They never developed an articulated model

Does New Flyer count actual buses or those '40-foot equivalencies' they always refer to in their reports (one 60-foot bus is considered the equivalent of two 40-foot or smaller buses)?

Precisely. In the latest CATA State College order for CNGs, Orion was higher than both Gillig and New Flyer...so guess who got the order...

And Nova's decline only came because more agencies retired Classics and RTS's than bought LFS's.

So if we only count the US, would Gillig's market share at more parity with New Flyer? Thanks!

My question is ..is this the reason why the MTA had that Gillig Advantage BRT parked outside of 2 Broadway last month?

Are they thinking about using them since Orion took a powder? IT IS A COOL LOOKING BUS.

Going forward, I see NABI as being in trouble more so than anyone else. ElDorado has a small bus market to keep it going, an Nova Bus now will have the Canadian market that New Flyer doesn't get. Nova Bus probably may well be the beneficiary of Orion's demise.

What will happen when the orders for LACMTA and NJT are complete for NABI?

Also, lately Broward County Transit (7 orders totaling ~180 buses since 2005). And Miami-Dade Transit has been a big NABI customer since 1998.

Well this is transit and the MTA going to Gillig for future bus orders is not out of the question either.

Yeah..I can see that happening..

I can also see them using Nova bus more in the near future since they are now ONCE AGAIN located in NYS,hoping this will shorten delivery time between the manufacturer and the client..

Gillig has never shown any interest in the MTA, other than the one order of Phantoms for LI Bus all those years ago.

that may change,due to the demise of its "prime" contractor,Orion Bus..they may just stick with NOVA bus for the 40 footers due to the close proximity of it plants...particularly since its located within NYS.

They also might finally go with Gillig due to the Advantage BRT being parked in front of 2 BROADWAY LAST MONTH...guess it was there for them to take a look over...plus the market thinning out leaving only a few builders..
