Posted by roscoman1986 on Wed Dec 31 23:53:10 2008, in response to Re: PHOTOS: A Tribute to Valley Metro's soon to be gone routes/buses, posted by PHXTUSbusfan on Wed Dec 31 19:33:17 2008. I wonder if these buses were owned by Tempe at one time? However, they apparently didn't last that long on the FLASH service (considering that in 1996 two buses were sold to OC Transpo) but they were better than the open "tram" they replaced (which was similar in concept to the existing yellow shuttles at Sun Devil Stadium but used different vehicles. They apparently were part of the original FLASH fleet along with some of the 35-foot TMC RTS. Also I find that interesting that they were powered by CNG considering that Phoenix, Tempe, and the RPTA all went with LNG in 1998 (Mesa stuck with CNG and eventually the RPTA went to CNG). |
