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! 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. Edited by Tritransit Area, Sep 26 2008, 09:10 PM.

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... |
