Posted by T8H5307N on Tue Dec 30 18:03:59 2008, in response to Re: PHOTOS: A Tribute to Valley Metro's soon to be gone routes/buses, posted by roscoman1986 on Mon Dec 29 14:48:47 2008. The first 49 were approved by City Council on 7/7/93. The second 22 were options approved by City Council on 2/9/94. Both papers indicate that RPTA requested that the City of Phoenix act as its purchasing agent. No City funds were used to purchase these buses, just RPTA and FTA.I seem to remember that only the lower numbered 4000s ever operated on Rural Rd. While looking through the docs, I noticed the National Transmarks were done the same way. 4001 was City of Phoenix-owned. There was a note that 4001 was leased back to Neoplan for Altoona testing, and Neoplan supplied an over-the-road coach as a substitute. |
