Not surprised. They seem to be in a crisis. I noticed last month that very few of their newer buses were out and about. Every M101 I got was one of the old beat up buses.

It's not really a big situation as Tuskegee is only taking one or two for the pm rush. It would be a crisis if they took more units everyday. Also, the D60's make up for the majority of their local fleet (89 d60's to just 38 novas, with 25 more set aside for the M86 SBS only) hence why you see more of the older units out.

Yes, I'm aware of the M86 situation, but given how old most of their 60 footers are, it's a crisis since their buses take a pounding.

It's not really a crisis, especially since they also operate the M15 local....a lot of people forget that, and they tend to stick a majority of the newer artics on that line.
