I just saw some new Gillig hybrids on Sarasota's route 17 "Trail" between Sarasota and Venice, Florida. Has anyone else purchased the same model?
Thanks.

CDTA in Albany operates Gillig BRT hybrids, and Centro in Syracuse and TCAT in Ithaca have the standard Gillig hybrids.

RGRTA in Rochester has 19 hybrids on order from Gillig - no idea what body style these buses will have, although they do have standard Gillig low-floor diesel buses in the fleet.
