Connecticut Transit to add 35 Nova LFS Artic buses

[Vintage Soul]

Saint-Eustache, Quebec, January 14, 2010 – Nova Bus is pleased to announce that Connecticut Transit (CT Transit) has selected Nova Bus to provide 35 LFS Artic buses, with options on an additional 35 articulated vehicles over a four-year period.

CT Transit, whose divisions serve 7 metropolitan areas throughout the state of Connecticut, including Hartford, New Haven and Stamford, selected a mix of clean-diesel and hybrid drives for its articulated vehicles, with deliveries starting in late 2010.

Valued at approximately $60 million, the order will be assembled at Nova Bus’ Plattsburgh, NY plant. The company was selected particularly for its product design and performance, price and delivery schedule.

In 2009, MTA New York City Transit purchased 90 Nova LFS articulated vehicles which are assembled at the Plattsburgh facility. The delivery process for this order is currently under way.

Ugly doesn't even begin to describe these buses. I will, however, reserve further judgement until I get to ride one of these buses (either in NYC or Stamford)...

Cool, its good to see the LFSA going somewhere other than NYC, its good for Novabus.

thats actually not too bad looking...I didnt care much for the LFS when it first came out But now, since they have updated the Designs on those things I'm kinda attracted to them and this is coming from a huge Neoplan AN460 fan heehee....

They may be ugly, but they're some bad ass buses.
