Another set of orders for New Flyer.
I wonder if ABQ RIDE is in the 143 orders that are not listed on the news article. ABQ RIDE ordered 58 DE40LFRs, yet the order wasn't listed on any of New Flyer's lists of orders. Ironically, the six DE60LF buses that were delivered a little more than a year ago was listed on one of New Flyer's lists of orders. All of ABQ RIDE's DE40LFRs have now been delivered.
There have been some rumors that ABQ RIDE was looking to trade in their Thomas SLF200 buses for additional New Flyer hybrids, however, since the SLF200s are less than 12 years old (delivered in 2001), there will have to be some legal issues involved. Also, ABQ RIDE's Neoplan AN440s approach the 12 year mark this year.
Also, another rumor that went around is that ABQ RIDE was looking to buy more DE60LFs for future Rapid Ride expansion. If these rumors are true, I hope the next ones are DE60LFRs. The six DE60LFs delivered early last year still feature the old-style front. |
