How?!?!? Its only been in service for a freakin week. Wtf. Why didn't ct transit go with NABI? We just love having test rats running around. It might end up being a CTA type situation where they have to send the buses back. Wonder why New Flyer didn't bid DE60LFs using those spots where CTA defaulted buses wouldve been. I'm pretty sure New Flyer has shells available. If they can deliver DE60LFs to baltimore in late 2011 then.... |

| Chill. The Nova artics have been proving themselves in New York City, so I'm sure whatever issue has sidelined this particular bus will be corrected and they'll do just fine in Connecticut. |

The New Flyers have had their share of issues as well. It doesn't matter who the manufacturer of the bus is, they all have things go wrong, and parts are not always available as quickly as we would like. It is the way it is in the bus industry.

Damn. Are they going to upgrade it to have a smaller roof panels like the 1000's? Cuz iirc it was governed at 48 mph. Too slow for highway usage. Matter of fact, when the new fuel cell bus comes in, what run will it be on? |

| Monday 1108-run 608. Night pulse point run. Hopefully more will be popping up on night pulse artic runs. btw run 6002 should have an artic. gets too crowded at the 845 trip from the mall. or maybe another bus should leave around 815. |

That is not right 1108 is not in service yet and wont be for atleast two weeks the only buses in service right now and for atleast sometime next week are 1101 thru 1103 and for the next bid some of the artic buses will be move to other rutes as needed so maybe there will be one on that block |
