I'll place my bet and say these wont come in until after 2014 or 2015.

Cool, thank you for the news. Now if we can all live long enough to see and ride on them.

Wow that doesn't look bad at all in the MARC scheme.

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...
