New Buses in Arizona

I just returned from Arizona and thought you might enjoy photos of two fairly new buses I observed.

The first is a new C40LFR for Valley Metro in Phoenix; I believe this order is currently being delivered. 6612 was the highest number I observed, with 6597 the lowest. This bus was on the 72 and is pictured along College Avenue in Tempe.



The second is one of two Gillig 35-foot BRT hybrid buses received a number of months back by Mountain Transit in Flagstaff.

Yep, the 2008 C40LFRs are numbered from 6597-6657, with a hybrid numbered 6658. So far, I have seen up to 6616.

That Gillig hybrid is the first over-30 foot hybrid bus in Arizona and was demonstrated by Sun Tran in Tucson IIRC a month or two ago.

Upcoming orders in the Phoenix area include 10 D60LF-BRT (D60LFA) in December for the RPTA and 20 L40LF in between for Phoenix.
