Foothill Transit Exercises Options for 30 Additional Buses with New Flyer Subsidiary, NABI Bus, LLC

In January 2013, Foothill Transit awarded NABI a new contract for 30 model 42-BRT buses, with options for up to 120 additional buses over a four year period. Foothill has now ordered its next installment by exercising options for 30 additional new buses.

The 42-BRT was derived from NABI’s larger, 60-foot articulated BRT, already being operated by Foothill Transit. These buses are sleek and streamlined, with rooftop equipment completely concealed below the roofline. They also utilize a raked, single-piece windshield and hidden-frame side windows to add to their chic and iconic appearance.

Foothill Transit’s Executive Director, Doran Barnes noted, “One of the key objectives with this purchase has been to obtain visually distinctive buses capable of attracting new riders. With bus appearance and design being critical, the NABI 42-BRT is a natural choice.” Barnes added, “These buses draw positive public attention and allow us to position public transit as a tech-forward and innovative transportation option for our communities. Their high seating capacity helps in our denser cities, and they are loaded with customer-oriented features.”

Paul Soubry, President and CEO of New Flyer commented, “This contract is Foothill Transit’s fourth contract with NABI since 2004. We are very proud of Foothill’s strong relationship with New Flyer’s subsidiary, NABI, and we are excited about how these sleek new buses complement our overall product portfolio”.

Foothill transit’s new buses will be produced entirely at NABI’s Anniston, AL manufacturing facility.
