H4 5600 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 LSF shuttles, the company that is contracted to operate some MDT routes, has apparently bought at least one (possibly more) 29ft gillig BRT from madison county transit. It has been painted into the MDT livery, which means it will likely be used on LSF contracted MDT routes.

According to cschnur15, he spotted some of the old 30 footer Madison County Transit buses when Miami-Dade Transit bought what it looks to be 3006, 3011, 3012, 3014, 3018, 3025, 3030, 3032, and 3037, someone spotted a unknown 2012 and 3011 at a Miami contractor's yard. They are 8 - 10 years old. Here's the link to Ex-Madison County Transit 30XX from HOUExplorer on YouTube: 8:32; the bus was still at the Contractor's yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular unit looks to be a 2012 judging by the skid plate under the service door. It's probably 3025 or a high 3030. Because they bought quite a few from the Manheim Auction in St. Louis which is where MCT took them when there time was up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschnur15 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Upon further checking of vins on MyCarFax and the Illinois title and vin look up, I found that the contractor bought the following 3003, 3004, 3006, 3007 3010, 3011, 3012, 3014, 3017, 3018 ,3019 , 3020, 3024, 3025, 3028, 3029, 3030, 3031, 3032, 3033, 3035, 3036,and 3037. 3003-3004, 3006-3007, 3010-3012, 3014, 3017 and 3018 are 2010 models. 3019, 3020, and 3024 are 2011 models. And 3025, 3028-3033, 3035-3037 are 2012 models. Quite a few were great buses and will be missed, most served our county great for the 9 1/2- 8 years we had them. Hope they get taken care of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Voith fans in Miami will easily be able to spot 3008, 3011, 3012, 3019, and 3021! All of the units are in revenue service now cschnur15 and the tip in windows for all units are contracted by LSF and they are used on L, S and 120 Lines for Miami-dade Transit. The tip in windows and seats are very different from the rest of Miami Dade Transit common buses without the tip in windows. Hopes the fleet numbers will be renumbered to 5 digits for 103XX, 113XX and 123XX series. They are wrapped in Blue and green Light and retained the white scheme.
