42' CNG's...this order screams either LFA/LFR or NABI BRT. Either way, those Neoplans are starting to be a bit long in the tooth (they're mid 90's vintage) and save for the Avis/Budget Gilligs everything else is a cruel joke posing as a bus.

I figured they'd go with NABI. I haven't really heard of anyone getting CNG LFAs yet although I wouldn't put it past New Flyer given if someone puts in specs for them (maybe Phoenix).
