摘要

In 2005, for the first time in 20 years, articulated buses will again be seen on Los Angeles streets. Los Angeles Metro is purchasing 200 high capacity Model 60-BRT buses from North America Bus Industries Inc., Anniston, Ala. The 60 ft. Metro Liner Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) buses will operate on many of L.A.'s busiest bus corridors and on the Metro Orange Line. Each bus costs more than USD600,000 and delivery of the first 30 is scheduled to be completed by June 2005. The remaining 170 will be delivered by June 2006.
