How was the vehicle selected?
Over the past years, different vehicles have been used in simulations of BRT designs. Searching for the best vehicle with operational efficiencies, as well as image, has been an exciting challenge. In 2003 a contract with New Flyer Industries was signed. The first six hybrid-electric, 60-foot articulated vehicles were delivered in late 2006. The hybrid vehicles went through a test period, followed by bus operator training, timing studies, and training for people with disabilities.
