NovabusRTSwfd Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 On 12/16/2019 at 8:30 PM, Ztonyg said: So today I saw 5635 on 138E and saw 6501 on 83N. I guess the delineation between First Transit and Transdev is either 5632 or 5633. Surprised that 6501 is still alive and kicking due to the fact that so many First Transit D40LFs have been retired. Spotted 5632 running on route 16 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3we Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 RPTA must be trying to get the last bit of miles out of 'em. I've been seeing a lot of 6600s lately where I might otherwise see a green C40LFR or Gillig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked my notes and you are correct. I got the vin incorrect when I updated the wiki page. 6562 is actually retired, not 6581. Thanks for the catch, that's my bad.

Wikipedia deleted the bus fleet page a few years ago (even though they allowed a fleet listing for most other transit agencies). The wiki on this site doesn’t appear to have been updated in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABQ RIDE Posted March 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 It appears some 2009 New Flyer C40LFRs have recently been moved back to Mesa. They still have Tempe sign programming. As for route assignment, it usually seems like the RPTA tends to assign newer buses to express routes and busier local routes, while less busy routes tend to get more older buses. However, recently there has been a lot of older buses on the busier routes (especially 2009 C40LFRs). I think they want to get as much miles as possible out of them.

3we Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Looks like the March deal on 6615, 6623, and 6632 fell through (from that one bidder); now they brought $3000 less. Saw a picture of Light Rail car 133B in new colors on Valley Metro's Instagram. The one that was in the February 29 fatal accident, 118B, was in new colors. The first of the S70s should be along fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
