The infamous A-frame issue. Grumman repaired the buses in 1980-81 and they went back into service in New York City. The 870's were pulled off the road in NYC for good in 1984 by new TA president David Gunn after a bus caught fire in Manhattan. According to Dr. Robert Ebert's history of Flxible, the fire was later found to have been caused by deferred maintenance and was unrelated to the early defective design.
