From looking at this picture it appears Miami Dade Transit may no longer be purchasing NABI 40LFWs. It appears they are now purchasing Gillig BRTs from looking at this 2010 Gillig BRT. So it looks like Miami Dade Transit switched sources for new buses once again after the departure of Flxible. So far I know Miami Dade worked with NABI after the Flxible departure until 2005-2006 as Baltimore MTA worked with NABI from 97-00. Neoplan from 02 and New Flyer from 04 and up. And WMATA who went to Orion when Flxible went out of business then to New Flyer and one more order from Orion before permanently going back to New Flyer.
