Wow - perhaps this is related to the labor issues at the Mississauga plant. I wonder if this will impact Orion's orders for CNYRTA and NICE? |

Also could be the TA doesn't want another oddball fleet, with all these 90 bus orders there's several of them. |

SC and CP will have one type of bus model for the next 12 - 15 years, crazy.Only two CNG fleets overall once its all said and done, the C40LF and the OG Orions in JG and WF. |

Well, those buses have longer life span on the CNG tanks. We wont see them replace in 5 to 8 years down the road. It would be better if they replace the garbage DD50G engine to Cummins Westport ISL G engine. |

The buses to replaced are at least 12 years old and have more than 500,000 miles on them.Do similar 12 year old CNG buses at NYCT have the same amount of miles logged on their odometers as NICE ?

Honestly that is nothing new, FP, UP, ENY, and FLA had all RTS fleets for a long time. 100th also had 100% D60HF for a couple of years.SC only has like 60 local buses. Not really deserving of bus variety. CP has enough local buses to justify more than one bus type. |

Wow...you've got REAL issues..Were you a bad kid? you always speak of who "deserves" what equipment on what route..like we are on the "honor system"["if you behave..then you MIGHT get to ride a NEW BUS...!"] RIDICULOUS.. You need to change your thinking...and remember the crap we us to ride.and MOST OF ALL..stop trying to punish US like YOU were punished. |

On tanks, those buses should be able to go to 2021 or 2022, although a replacement order will have to be made by 2019. The tanks on those buses should be Tier 2 certified (for 20 years). |

Perhaps it's related to DAIMLER BUSES NORTH AMERICA'S DECISION TO EXIT THE HEAVY PRODUCTION OF HEAVY DUTY TRANSIT BUSES, as clearly stated in the press release. |

Agreed. I'm not much of a New Flyer fan.Hopefully Nova comes to the CNG market soon so we won't have to order solely from New Flyer for CNG buses now. |
