atsf transit Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 if you guys want, i can supply pics of the current PalmTran buses, since i live in Lake Worth Beach Florida, and i frequently use Palm Tran to go down to Boca Raton on Thursdays and Fridays every week and i occasionally take the 1 bus up to downtown west palm beach or to the intermodal center, id be more than happy to, since i practically take pics of them every day with my phone, and I'm very good at it too. some point I'm going to try and become a bus driver for Palm Tran as well since they are having a driver shortage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennwood Road Ent. Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 What happened to the 6 2012 New Flyer D60LFR #1200-1205? Are they sent back to NFI Factory for 10 year warranty expiration date, another transit operator in Florida or to scrapyard? Photo credit belongs to Marcos A. R.

When and how much bus drivers did Palm Tran lost during the Covid 19 lock downs? Did you learned anything from the internet or research yourself and are you doing standard shift driving lessons inside the transit bus with the sound system in it when you getting hired out of your own pocket after you getting your CDL and driver's license requirements in Florida yet?

When those kinds of situations occur, the transit agency usually buys the buses once the warranty ends unless the bus maker offers good deals to trade them in. However, it turns out that Palm Tran retired the D60LFRs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR2012TPA Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 I heard a lot of the operators disliked the artics. It doesn't surprise me that they were retired so quickly. In other Palm Tran news, an express route to Port St. Lucie is being planned for a 2024 launch: https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/2023/06/03/fdot-grant-to-fund-express-service-from-port-st-lucie-to-west-palm/70269034007/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they order Prevost, MCI or Volvo Commuter Coach later on this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
