LNG fuel has to be stored at extremely low temperatures in order to be volable plus the costs of installing a CNG to LNG processing facility or having it brought it from an outside source.

LNG is really complicated to store and use.  Much better to use CNG, honestly.
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...
