Pittsburgh PAT retires 1998 Neoplan AN460's
Posted by Jayayess1190 on Sat Sep 28 01:35:50 2013 edf40wrjww2msgDetailB:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d The DD50/500R 1998 Neoplan AN460's were retired Friday night. Here are some of my pics from my past 4 years attending college in Pittsburgh. The Metroliner's and DD60 powered AN460's are all that remain of the Neoplan legacy in Pittsburgh.

I rode these a few times, despite this being my first year here. They're nice buses. What's the difference between the 1998 and 2005-6 models? Are any of the latter painted in the Gold scheme? When will the AN345's retire?

And none are painted gold. The AN345's have already started to retire and I don't know when they all go. PAT is the worst though, they never tell anyone when they are retiring stuff.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever been on a non-gold 1998 model.
