metsfan Posted February 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 20, 2009 What are the large busses on the 130, and why are they on the 130? I have seen them before obviously, but never in these numbers for such a long period of time. They look like neoplan & new flyer 30 footers, not sure. One was trying to turn in town and some jackass was sticking out too far, so it had to wait to turn blocking a green. Anyone know what's going on? - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.J.

D.J. Posted February 25, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 25, 2009 I like them somewhat (I'd much prefer DE40LFR's) but it has a problem with acceleration, but the speeds they reach are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted February 25, 2009 We have some very uncool fuel prices, so i'm glad they are going a bit hybrid on the 130 at least. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
