ABQ RIDE Posted July 5, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2011 While the ElDorado EZ Rider II is the best-selling medium-duty bus, the ElDorado Axess heavy-duty bus hasn't been a great seller. While Valley Metro in Phoenix once placed a big order for the Axess, the order was cancelled due to the economy. When the contract was re-bid, it went to New Flyer. Most of the Axess' customers seem to be airport shuttle operators, which is ironic since that is what the EZ Rider II's main intended market, while the Axess is mainly intended for the transit market. So, can the Axess be called a flop? What is the reason for the Axess not selling to transit authorities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
