One of the original order of 17 Lenzner doesn't have one any longer. Coach Has over 250 DD, and are porpoising the first ones to sightseeing in Chicago and to shortline. |

Coach USA is the parent company of Mega Bus. Just my opinion, but the shorter mileage commuter operations of Coach USA (former Suburban, former Shortline e.g.)would be ideal properties to transfer the DD Mega buses to when the mileage gets high and when they get old. |

These buses would be either for charters or for peripheral service such as route 495 and the Orange and Sullivan County locals, or the Nanuet and the route 208 services. |
