Since we are talking about Ride-On and their next CNG order how about WMATA, what would anyone like to see come to the new Southeastern division I would like to see either Orion VII NG CNGs or New Flyer C40LFR/or LFAs and hopefully some artics.

I'm tired of the LFAs (have yet to see them in person, but saw enough pics).  Let's get Designlines!
My favorite buses:
1989 SEPTA AN440: 19 years in service
1989 NJT Metro Bs: 21 years in service
1990 WMATA 93/9400 Flxes: 20 years in service!
1990-92 Ride-On Orion Is: 17-18 years in service!

Tell me again I have no taste in buses...

Naw I think they should get some C41LFRs with the Cummins ISL/Allison like OCTA, Or some NABI 40LFW CNG with the Cummins L GAS/ ZF or Allison. And acorrding to some sort of info I read maybe some C60LFRs or 2012 NABI 60 BRTs.

I don't think WMATA will get Designlines sometime in this period, but you never know, but this a CNG order so I think its safe to say that New Flyer, NABI, and/or Orion are the best candidates.

I just want to make something clear: there are no C42LFAs.
Blue Line Shuttle to Franconia-Springfield.



Want me to make a destination sign for you? Just send me a PM and I'll have it made in no time.

Yet. I bet you that if some agency in southern California likes the LFA product, New Flyer will make a CNG LFA reality.

Oh come on, it would be easy for New Flyer to produce a C42LFA.  You just won't see the tanks on top.

Yeah and the vents on the side will probably look a little different also. And has New Flyer made a CNG Artic yet?

I don't believe they have, yet.
Then again I live in Southeast and they're alot of small road's here and not to mention I think the C40LF's or the Orion VII will probably go to the New division in 2012.
