These metal-structured buses consisted of the standard-floor model 416 (40-foot length), the low-floor Model LFW (produced in 31-foot, 35-foot and 40-foot lengths) and the low-floor BRT (produced in 42-foot and 60-foot lengths). CompoBus shells were assembled at Kapsovár and finished in Anniston until the end of production in 2013. [35] [36]
These were the last Orion models ordered for RideOn. Additionally, Ride On's first five hybrid-electric buses, the 2006 40 feet Gillig Low Floor aka Gillig Advantage buses (5300–5304, formerly 5750–5754), went into service. In 2007, 8 of the 2007 40 feet Gillig Advantage Hybrid buses (5305–5313, formerly 5755–5763) went into service.
For example, a New Flyer D40-88 is a 40-foot (nominal) rigid high-floor bus with conventional diesel power, built in 1988. The -## suffix was used between 1987 and 1990. After this time, no suffix was added to the model number, while buses from the Low Floor series, which were introduced in 1991, did have LF for a suffix.
For example, a NABI 40-LFW is a 40' (nominal) rigid low floor transit bus. At launch, 35-foot and 40-foot nominal lengths were announced, with the 40-LFW more popular with fixed-route transit agencies. A 60-foot articulated variant (60-LFW) was ordered in 2001. The 31-foot NABI 31-LFW was introduced with the first 'Gen II' restyle in 2008.
After 1982, Gillig discontinued the Transit Coach after 42 years of production, concentrating its resources on the Gillig Phantom transit bus. For 1986, the company reentered school bus production, developing a school bus variant of the Phantom that was offered from 1986 through 1993; the high-floor Phantom was manufactured through 2008.
