Hey everyone, to keep up with the retirements of the OCTA New Flyer C40LFR, I provided a separate thread so we know which ones are retired at the moment, and which ones are still active presently.

NFI is now bigger than ever. The biggest in NA in transit buses and coaches. Here is the press release: http://www.equities.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=newsdetail&id=465793

Anybody know who these are for? 7C031293-31310 C35LF ? CC040725-40727 D40LFR ? CC041502 XN40 ? DC043386 XD40 ? EB044700-44701 MD30 ?

Maybe now that NFI is making a 30/35' bus again we can get rid of those 900s and get a few of these Looking towards the back Dash Left side panel (red lever is parking brake) Destination sign and media centre (wouldn't it be nice to have a radio in the buses!!) Driver's AC vent Interesting seat placement Front Back Maybe what it will look like soon??
