When I first saw these, I thought they were a restyled Advantage. I would like to see these in the WMATA scheme.

In my opinion i think Gilligs are for small TA like THEBUS and Shuttle UM and maybe Ride-on? Just saying its like NYCTA getting them and i just dont think Gilligs are strong enough for some DC streets.

If WMATA does somehow get Gilligs, then the Gillig Advantage BRT is the bus to get. I was thinking the too Jereme, but hey you never know what happens. Look at PAT. They got Advantages and Phantoms.

What about some Alexander Dennis Enviro 500 double-deckers, with the upcoming Cummins ISX11.9 engine mated to the Voith D864.5 transmission?

WMATA doesn't need to order Gillig Advantages nor Gillig BRT.

Why you say that?
