Ztonyg Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Phoenix has XD60s in the 8102+ range (although I'm not sure how high they go) and they seem to be split between Transdev and First Transit. I believe Phoenix is receiving Gillig CNGs in the 5241-5320 number range (as I believe the order was for 80). Then there will be 30 Gillig diesels likely numbered 5601-5630 (in line with the photo posted earlier unless the numbering was inaccurate). I'm not quite sure why the gap exists between 5321-5600. Between the 80 new CNG Gilligs and the 30 new Diesel Gilligs the D40LFs are probably not going to be around much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the 80 new CNG Gilligs and the 30 new Diesel Gilligs the D40LFs are probably not going to be around much longer. I looked at this.. the schedule was for 80 Gilligs before 6/30/16, then 40 over the 12 months ending 6/30/17, then 15 for the 12 months ending 6/30/18, and 15 for the 12 months ending 6/30/19. If it exercised its options, then that would be up to 60 more. For the XD60s, there were 21 base orders and up to six options for the first two years (I thought that group was 8082-8104). Then 10 (+ 10) for this fiscal year, then 20 + 4 for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3we Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Just saw 6801 on Chandler Blvd. I think the 52 replacement buses for this year start at 6771. 6759-6770 were delivered last fall, while 6771 was delivered on April 19. There should be 11 XN40s coming along at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this bid, instead of taking a separate bid for standard vs. BRT buses, New Flyer lists "BRT Package" as a $6200 option. The D40LFRs are programmed to go next (fiscal) year.

The XDE60 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Saw 5243 on the 29W, from what I thought with the 2018 Phoenix Gillig Low Floor CNG buses, it could've gone either way with it being First Transit-West or Transdev-South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XDE60 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 5271 was seen on the 41W today, and apparently, it is a Gillig. I thought it'd be a New Flyer, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztonyg Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Some sightings today: 5268 on the 7 (interesting as it looks like 5243 and 5271 were spotted on First Transit routes and the 7 is a Transdev route). 5600 and 5603 on the 41. 5602 on the 17.

ABQ RIDE Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I wonder how many 2006 New Flyer C40LFRs remain. I'm mostly seeing Gilligs on the Mesa runs now. Also, it appears the D60LFAs are now mostly operating local routes as the XN60s now operate the express routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
