Title: Houston METRO NovaBus LFS buses.....
Post by: MetroBusFan4601 on October 21, 2011, 10:10:10 PM
Actually, these buses are not officially ours.  NovaBus provided Houston METRO with two buses to test and assess for six months to see if their LFS model can make it on the mean streets of Houston.

Here's pics of the buses provided to me by METRO:

The fleet #s for these buses are 4691 and 4692.  AGain, they'll only be here for six months and will go back to NovaBus.  Afterwards, we'll see if METRO will actually go to NovaBus for the next round of bus orders.

Wow! Those are nice! I hope they decide to go with Nova for the next order.

I hope so, too.  That way, we can have something different other than what we already have.
