Here we have a new order of NovaBus LFS-40s. Well not really new since they were first bought in 2001.These fast buses are powered by a 275hp Cummins ISC (C8.3E) engine hooked to a smooth and fast shifting Allison B400R ATEC of 5 gears.These buses are pure bullits when it comes to leaving a bus stop or traffic light.Like most buses in the summer times,these arent a hazard to traffic when they have a full load with the A/C running on arctic mode. here's a PHOTO of no.2148 reaching the end of the 6 route Downtown. Also included in the mix is Cleveland's first CNG fueled mainline 40 foot bus. These monsters are powered by a jet engine sounding Detroit Diesel Series 50G of 285hp. Transmission is a standard Cleveland ordered 4 gear Allison VR-731 ATEC. PHOTO of the ass end. check out the NJ Transit style tail light set up!! |

Ah yes,no 4718.This is Cleveland's 35 foot example of the 1991 Flexible Metro C. She's startin to show her age and believe it or not,this ole goat's still in regular hard everyday route service.She's also one of the fastest 4700s in the fleet and thats saying alot cause they all are slow as hell! |
