The new, low-emission articulated buses will provide more frequent and reliable high-quality service for passengers in the greater Orlando area.
The bus order will be used to enhance ABQ RIDE’s new Albuquerque Rapid Transit BRT system.
The bus is 80% more energy-efficient than a corresponding diesel bus, the company stated.
Construction began on the Laker Line BRT line on April 1, and service is slated to begin in August 2020.
The system is applicable for 40-foot low-floor city and double-decker buses, 60-foot articulated buses, and three-door buses.
The 60-foot-long buses have been repowered with new Cummins ISLG 320 horse-power engines.
The agency currently operates over 1,000 transit buses manufactured by North American Bus Industries, which was acquired by New Flyer in 2013.
This purchase is a “one for one’’ replacement of NJ TRANSIT’s aging articulated bus fleet as it reaches the end of its expected service life.
