Andru Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Here's a write-up from the Honolulu Star-Advertiser (November 9, 2010)...http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/2010110..._bus_fleet.html Kahu Kaleo Patterson blessed the city's first "clean-diesel" bus yesterday during a press conference introducing the new fleet to the public. I'm pretty sure that few Novas have ever been honored like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

323 Surrey Ctrl Stn Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm pretty sure that few Novas have ever been honored like this! I don't think ANY bus has been "blessed" Oh, so they'll be transported by ship in the west coast. No, they drove them Chris Cassidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only1Moore Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 They did the same thing with their last order of New Flyer DE60LFR's Actually, they do that [blessing] every time a new government vehicle arrives or a new building is opened in Honolulu.

Only1Moore Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 It looks like the Gillig Phantoms 600s are being less and used now. The only place you'll now see them is during Express services or being parked at the garages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebus Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 thebus-honolulu-Yeahh the only reason why they got the novas because there were the low bider compare to new flyer which is little more expensive and nova had more seats. But there saying there having problems wit them recently they had more on order but cancelled it which sucks! cuz i liked it because of the power and the large clear windows. Clear than any bus in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the sound you're talking about, but that "ching ching" reminds me the back door locks made by Vapor. 2. We can increase the speed. Don't ask me how!

I don't think Thebus did their homework on this one, nova isn't to blame but if this forces a better solution to the fold down step issue than that's a good result.

Like you've just said, Nova Bus isn't the one to be blamed, since TheBus must have spec'd their own buses like that. Nova didn't expect that larger wheelchairs would try to get in!

It is also the manufacturer's responsibility to ensure that their buses meet all ADA requirements, especially when written so in a tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
