The Neoplan Rider Studios Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Orion6025 said: What will be the numbers for the incoming Xcelsiors? 18101-XXXXX And I find the information on Miami dade transit 1992 Flxible metro buses from the website and 28/300 cng bus in service The 9200s was a test bed for alternate fuels. Buses 9201-9205 went to Central and then Northeast and were powered with CNG engines. Bus 9206-9210 went to NE and had the Cummins L10 diesel with particle traps on the exhaust. Bus 9211-9215 had the Detroit Diesel 6V92 running on methanol fuel. The methanol buses were the first to fail. Serious mechanical issues developed and the buses were parked in 1993. Some five years later, they were re-powered to diesel and returned to service. The CNG buses were extremely slow and had trouble climbing normal grades such as bridges and expressway ramps. They were put on the shortest of trippers for a few years and eventually parked and repowered with Cummins M11 diesels. The particle trap buses remained in service throughout their service spans, but the traps were modified and eventually removed. 9201-9205 had the voith transmission and Thermo King ac mounted while 9206-9215 had ZF transmission and Sutrak roof mounted AC units. They were retired in 2004/2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Neoplan Rider Studios Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Miami-Dade Transit in Miami, FL is currently in the process of receiving 300 (yes, 300) 40′ New Flyer XN40s to replace its oldest and most unreliable diesel buses. On top of this, they are ordering at least 150 (I believe) 40′ Gillig Low Floor CNG buses (styling will likely be similar to their 2014 & 2016 Gilligs, if not the BRT Plus styling).

Miami-Dade Transit in Miami, FL has a fleet of 40′ & 60′ hybrids (manufactured by either the defunct North American Bus Industries – NABI or by New Flyer – which acquired the former).

H4 5600 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Are the 1999-2004 nabis still active? If they are, are there any good routes or locations to find them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are, are there any good routes or locations to find them? There are some of each series still in service (I saw a 9900 yesterday). It seems that MD-T is retiring the worst buses (maintenance wise) of each series rather than an entire series at once. I would say that there are probably fewer 9900s running than any of the other groups. I wouldn't know where would be the best lines to find them, however, it seems that Coral Way Division has the fewest of the newer buses, therefore, a higher percentage of the older buses. Their routes generally operate in the south part of the county, from Flagler St on down. Some routes that serve the downtown area or nearby are the 8 (SW 8 St), 11 (Flagler St), 51 (Flagler MAX (limited stops)), 24 (Coral Way) and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were retired around 2009-2010 and I saw some of the buses were exported to the Bahamas by Nassau Airport Development around Late 2013 owned by Lynden Pindling Int'l Airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
