JAX Transit 2000 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 As of January 2021, All of the 2005-06 NABI 60-BRT.01 buses are retired according to Wikipedia. Most of the units are at Zacher's Scrap yard waiting for the parts to be sold off among the New Flyer C40LFs and NABI 40-LFW CNG.

JAX Transit 2000 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 SCRTD/LACMTA 4432: 1982 GMC RTS-04 (T7J604) was operating on route 201 taken by So Cal Metro of Flickr on February 13,2004 after their original Allison V730 transmissions were later replaced with V731 transmissions and Luminator Horizon headsigns were replaced from Vultron Flipdot headsigns after their last refurbishment by LACMTA. They were retired in 2008 according to Wikipedia. And SCRTD/LACMTA 4408 was finally restored and repainted back to SCRTD 1980s Tri Stripe Livery from late 2010s for the Historical Bus Collection for SCRTD Vehicles from 1964-93 and LACMTA Vehicles from 1993-Present.

Oh, Metro... what happened? The fleet has become dominated by flimsy, second-rate El Dorados -- and those BYDs look like they're cobbled together from salvaged junkyard parts. They used to get 15-20 years out of an RTS... 12-15 out of a New Flyer. I have trouble seeing their current "B fleet" making it to 8 or 10 years. I'm not usually one to harp on the past, but I can't help to reminisce about sleeker, more solid buses that were up to the task. And I'm not even going -that- far into the rear view. The New Flyer C40 fleet was kind of unlikely... but they turned in a respectable, low-key performance for many years. Here is 5202, about to begin a hard-working southbound trip down Western Av. At some point, she'll surely be passed by one (or both!) of the Metro Rapid 757 buses behind her! I love the proper, white DIN vehicle number on display here. They got lazy in later years and replaced vehicle number decals with black Helvetica. Made the Metro Local buses look like cheap Halloween props. And never mind the Metro Rapid buses -- you couldn't even see the black vehicle numbers against the dark red. Here is 4742 charging through DTLA. By the time of this photo, the later Neoplans (6300+) were still abundant, while the 4500-4600-4700 batch was down to just a few. I always enjoyed riding these buses -- they symbolized the transition away from the rough, dirty and dim buses that characterized the 80s and early 90s.
