[Is it just me or is that a PCC trolley in the photo with the vintage buses?]The ex-Toronto PCC was placed on exhibit there (at the Central Terminal in downtown Phoenix) many years ago to help Valley Metro's then push to have a light rail system approved by the voters. The two buses and PCC car have remained on exhibit there since that time. |

Did you see any of the newer D40LFR's in the high 6400's while you were busfanning this week? I didn't see any when I was in Phoenix earlier this month and am starting to wonder if they may have been taken out of service for some reason. Perhaps that is why there are so many 4000's on routes that normally see the D40LFR's. |

Isn't it a little ironic that a 5 series BMW pops right in front of the dirty car you were in, not making any jokes, while you were taking that picture.Daniel Mitchell 42B-North Main St-Tower Av-Coventry/Vine Sunday/Holiday Route |

Granted I wasn't out very long but I didn't see a single RPTA D40LFR or C40LFR downtown during the evening rush hour (only several RTS-WFDs and 60BRTs). I saw one D40LFR on route 72 or 81 #6455 Thursday and then C40LFR #643? on the 81 yesterday. Those were about the extent of my D40LFR and C40LFR sightings. The rest of the sightings on the 81 were either 4000 series D40LFs, LNG NABIs, or CNG NABIs. The 72 was more limited being either 4000 series D40LFs or CNG NABIs. It almost reminded me of early 2006 (pre-C40LFRs) in terms of the buses assigned to the various routes.I don't know if there's a problem with the C40LFRs or D40LFRs or if there is simply more variety in buses due to the fact that there isn't a need for air conditioning right now (temperatures in the 50s and 60s) and as such the 4000 series buses air conditioning deficiencies aren't as much of a problem so they can be placed back into service while any issues with the D40LFRs and C40LFRs are repaired. |

It is. Actually that photo was taken about 1/4 mile (maybe less) from one of the largest luxury car dealerships (or groups of dealerships) in the area. |
