Since 1989 MetroTransit has been wedded to California based Gillig for its rigid bus purchases, Gilligs do not make articulated units, so New Flyer has been the "goto" choice there. This, 521, is one of a batch of 57 delivered between 1998 and 1999, along with ten low floor Gillig models. Ever cautious, an order was not placed for the Advantage low floor models until six years later. The Gillig BRT came next, including some hybrids, but the first Gillig electrics were not due until 2026. |
