The XDE60 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 23 minutes ago, Phoenix Bus Channel said: 7031 hit the streets today on the 542 It just so looks like TotalRide is missing 7020 and 7021, while the East Valley needs 7025 and 7026. Though I anticipate 7033 to be on routes by month's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to predict what will replace the 2009 L40LFR's, but I could see them replaced during the summer at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
