When there is "one"!

This will be the first time in the US since 1980 that both transit and parlor buses will once again be built by the same manufacturer. Flxible ended production in 1970 and GMC in 1980. This may very well be a good marriage.

You're absolutely right, Frankie!
When GM had both transits and parlors, it wasn't a bad situation.

Kind of interesting that both Flyer and MCI
had their origins in Winnipeg, in 1930 and 1933, respectively......
