Do any U.S. transit systems run the Neoplan AN-440TLF?

I believe that the transit system in Vail, Colorado has a few.

SF Muni also has a demo AN-440TLF, but it's not used in revenue service.

Speaking of this, I wonder why true low floor designs never really caught on in the U.S. I know that the Orion VI wasn't a big success, and the Neoplan TLF buses hardly sold at all.

Capacity is part of the issue, but I believe the bigger concern is the odd powerplant arrangement that is necessary if the rear of the bus is low-floor.
