Wonder why the MTA refuses to purchase buses from Gillig?

[@forcechief]

Gillig is a mainly suburban bus contractor, and mostly orders buses for cities of a million people or less. Nassau County has 1.3 million people, and since Nassau is right next to Queens, you'll see Gilligs operating inside the City. The MTA orders buses in the hundreds, and are loyal New Flyer and Novabus customers.

[@forcechief]

The MTA tested a Gillig Phantom in 2005 (it was actually a Hybrid #5770). And they didn't like it, and so the MTA did the unthinkable: they scrapped a Brand New Bus. Gillig was not happy, and dropped the relationship with the MTA altogether.

I hate the 416 high floor. Every bus I rode on sucked ass.

[@forcechief]

I rode a couple of those NJT NABIs last year. I actually like the ones with the Caterpillars (2008s) more than the Cummins (2009-13).
