Posted by phxtusbusfan on Thu Jan 3 15:22:44 2008, in response to Valley Metro 1996 D40LF buses, posted by transitbusfan on Thu Jan 3 13:13:46 2008. I highly doubt that these buses will get LED signs or, in fact, any real improvements. In fact, I think that these buses, as well as the remaining 1994 D40LFs that are operated by First Transit, will likely be gone by the end of this month. All of the TMC RTSs and most of the 1994 First Transit D40LFs were retired with the arrival of the 2007 D40LFs. To the best of my knowledge, the 30 2007 D60LFs didn't replace anything and ended up as additional buses in the South Division garage. When the new schedule is published and the runs are divvied up, I fully expect that at least 30 of the Veolia-Phoenix NABI 40LFWs will move to the First Transit division and that the D40LFs (1994 and 1996) in that division will be removed from service. In fact, I'd bet that the 1994 D40LFs operated by Veolia-RPTA will end up lasting longer in service than any of the 1994/1996 D40LFs over at First Transit (as the RPTA ones won't be replaced until the 2008 C40LFRs arrive this summer). |
