I remember seeing one of those SunLink trailer buses in Cabazon a few years back. IIRC, it ran from the Palm Springs area via Cabazon to Riverside.

Do they still run? I thought those were Cuban buses only.

They certainly look like they're ex-OCTA, judging by one of the pictures...

I've only seen the SuperBus in Bus World, back when they were a new concept. I'm glad it didn't catch on.

No, they are in their grave yard, with many other retired buses.

I'm sure there are lots of agencies hurting for more or bigger buses. However werid those contraptions are.

Glad to see that SunBus has new buses. Back in a Bus World Magazine it stated they only had the new Orion V(#501-#535) and a Gillig. Is the Gillig still in service?

M31-#8984-NOVABUS
Q60-#5906-TMC

No more Gillig's in service. Only the Orion's, a Van Hool, and a New Flyer.

Is that Van Hool ex-AC Transit? If it is, an air conditioning unit would have to be added on. Also, I remember seeing what appeared to look like MCI Classic CNG buses in that same yard where the "SuperBuses" are. When did those buses ever run, anyway, or were they just test buses?

No, it is not. It is actually a Van Hool Hydrogen Fuel Cell bus one of about 3 or 5, one Ct Transit, one SunBus, and about 1-3 AC Transit.
