Nova Bus has received a $18m order form Niagara Falls Transit and The Niagara Parks Commission for a mix of clean-diesel 40-foot Nova LFS and 62-foot articulated LFX buses, to increase their fleet of 40-foot buses and produce their first BRT vehicles.
The Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) has worked with Niagara Falls Transit and The City of Niagara Falls on the establishment of a new Visitor Transportation System for the Park and City that will result in the purchase of new clean-diesel vehicles to replace NPC's aging and inaccessible Peoplemover buses.
Nova Bus president and CEO Gilles Dion said the company is proud to continue to partner with Niagara Falls Transit, and it looks forward to building just as strong a relationship with The Niagara Parks Commission as they look to enhance service within the Parks, particularly with a new BRT offering.
Niagara Falls Transit GM Dave Stuart said staff at both organizations are impressed with the contemporary design of Nova buses.
"We feel the interior amenities are attractive and well thought out for customers requiring greater levels of accessibility and with respect to engineering, our maintenance personnel are impressed with their robust design and low operating costs and our bus operators truly enjoy driving them," Stuart said.
"They have been a great addition to our fleet as we further enhance the service Niagara Falls Transit provides to our residents and the many visitors we provide transportation to throughout our bustling community."
By combining their procurement, the two authorities will benefit from Nova Bus' common platform for the 40-foot Nova LFS and the 62-foot articulated LFX buses.
