LRG Posted May 13, 2011 Share #276 Posted May 13, 2011 Wow, the RTS T80-206 model must have been the most popular design since that one outlasted the other models. Okay here's a question for you guys: what style signage do you want to see on these 2011 C40LFs, Luminator (Horizon/Titan) or Axion signs? I actually like the Axion signs, I'd hope to see them on the future bus orders. If you know another type of signage post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkD329 Posted May 14, 2011 Share #284 Posted May 14, 2011 This just sucks, the closest operator to NYC with LFR's is Septa, and I don't think they even have regular ones, some trackless trolley bus. I guess the next best thing is Maryland MTA and WAMTA for LFRs. The 2010 [8340-8459] and 2011 [8460-8559] NF hybrids are the LFR's, and I must say that they look damn fine!

I always wondered about that... What do they go by to decide if they'll exercise the option to order more of a certain make of a bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share #300 Posted May 25, 2011 EEEE.....this is a C40LF not restyled? W T F !!! Those are still built? So even the manufactor doesn't know what he is doing? The last 3 LF customers were MTA, DDOT, & SMART of Detroit from what I understand. SMART took delivery of a couple D60LF's in November. DDOT took delivery of 50 D40LF's in the beginning of last year. New Flyer doesn't make them anymore except by special arrangement. Technically they have been discontinued for quite some time now. The LFR (restyled) series is scheduled to be discontinued in 2012/2013. Calm down first off. Second off, the MTA Payed EXTRA Fore more of these buses. That's what everybody thought at first. But after reviewing some documents, I find out that was not the case at all! The C40LF's, XD40's and XD60's are going to be purchased for a steal!!! The final option of this CNG order conveniently calls for 90 buses. I see XC40's on the horizon!B) I always wondered about that... What do they go by to decide if they'll exercise the option to order more of a certain make of a bus? There are many different factors such as funding, availability, cost at time of contract signing, delivery timetables, fleet replacement programs, product negotiations, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
