Besides those C35LFRs, it also order some C40LFRs. (i only saw two of them, which are B73 and B74) C40LFR C35LFR Others Gillig Phantom C40LF C35LF Thanks for watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general682002 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Nice photos! Funny, their newest restyle comes in all white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVTArider Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Great photos! Nice photos! Funny, their newest restyle comes in all white? Hope they didn't spend too much on hiring a designer for that livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. McConnell Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm surprised they didn't add the purple stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George L. Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm surprised they didn't add the purple stripe. They probably will add it later, like Metrolink is doing with its new blue ribbon livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieko Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Seems like New Flyer is really cornering the municipal operator market for Southern California, Torrance Transit has their first GE40LFR in the yard (will post pics when I'm allowed to) and are waiting for the next nine which will launch around April. I have to say, it's a huge upgrade from the Gilligs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. McConnell Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Also: these are the first C35LFRs built, as far as I know. (It's not that big of a milestone, but it deserved to be mentioned.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, it's a huge upgrade from the Gilligs! Seems so, while more agencies here in LA are turning to New Flyer instead of Gillig, there are others who are turning to NABI. City of Commerce ordered enough CNG 35-LFW's to replace most of their fleet. Santa Monica Big Blue bus has some 60-BRT's on order, the last two orders in the City of Santa Clarita fleet are NABI's (60-BRT's and Restyled 40-LFW's), and Foothill Transit's last 4 orders were NABI's. It'll be interesting to see who becomes the dominant manufacturer in LA municipal fleets in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. McConnell Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 B66 was on the 4 this afternoon. I don't think it had any decals on the driver's side, but I didn't get a very good look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see who becomes the dominant manufacturer in LA municipal fleets in the years to come. I don't think Gillig will cede that market without a fight! Especially since the erosion of their market is due to the stringent Southern CA emission standards rather than the inheritent shortcomings of their own products. They were no longer able to compete in that market since 2002/03 as they don't make CNG buses. However, they recently put a gasoline-electric hybrid version of their BRT into trial in Fort Myers, Florida with LeeTran. If that trial is successful, it may well upend the market shares in LA county municipal agencies for the manufacturers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
