According to News 12,the MTA is purchasing 120 new ,low floor buses.
No further details were submitted.

Anyone know what this is all about?
Though we were getting 414 Nova's,200 plus XD40(gotta love how they coined the name)..and some new CNG types to come later.

Maybe they are referring to the 75/45 order for MTA Bus, the large order you mentioned is for MTA NYC Transit. That would total 120 buses.

link to Daily News article, it is indeed the MTABC order that was mentioned, and it looks like New Flyer. Article of course has errors as it states these would be the first LF buses on BC routes which is ridiculous as there are many C40 LF running, as well as older Orion LF hybrids sent over from transit.

Apparently, they copy off from MTA press release incorrectly. MTA Bus Company, for the first time ordering low floor articulated buses.

As far as I know, the only BC artics are ex NYC high floors, so that would make sense. Leave it to the press to leave out a key word or phrase. Thanks for re printing that.
