This is great news! Can't wait 'till they're all gone...although the Frontier bricks were fairly decent buses.

NO!, Not the NABI's give up the 2001 New Flyers instead! They're exact copies of the 2002 ones except nosier and break down more often like a few months ago, two buses (both on the 52) broke down on City Avenue. And don't contradict me with NABI breakdowns because I wont listen (well, read) because I don't want the NABI's to be gone!

Heh, wow - you:NABI::me:Neos (I think that's the right way to do that analogy thing).

I felt the same way about the Neos, but fortunately mine lasted almost 19 years. The NABIs...not quite so much.

I can understand why people don't like them, but I think they are cool anywayz...but the Neos are...were...better! :P

The 2001 New Flyers are lame, though. We need more ZFers...none of that H-less camel back junk that's coming in that people keep texting me about. I don't think I've ever cared so little about a new bus order before. I do want to ride one, though, and see where they pop up. I want to see how quiet they are to see if they are even recordable.

I think it's awful. Let's see, once the NABIs are gone, what will you have left (in terms of 40 footers)...New Flyers!

There goes fleet diversity...
