WMATA orders Orion VII NG's?

[Annex4421]

Actually we were originally quite pissed with the last Orion Vs because they were some of the first buses off the line after the strike and each unit had it's own problems...mostly resolved to this point.

In regards to hybrids, we received the aforementioned grant to upgrade to hybrids, so there's no reason for us not to go that route.

Are you looking at Gillig Advantages? or something else

As I said, most likely Gillig Advantages.... But nothing here is official yet.

Ok thanks and please keeps us posted.

I agree, WMATA should buy Orion VII NG.

They should replace all remaining Flixble Metro ( just in case, if there not fully replaced by DE42LFA), and all 1997-1998 Orion V.

Yes someone agrees with me Orion VII NGs CNGs and Hybrids.

Also they are rumors saying that WMATA cloud be buying from Orion near future.

I hope it's true that WMATA does.

Me too, but I heard WMATA doesn't have a good business relationship with Orion so I don't know.

I did hear WMATA had ordered 35ft versons of the NG in 2007 but gave them away. But I'm not sure.
