One thing I find hard to believe is that the article states these new buses (ElDoardo EZ Rider II MAX) are designed to last for 20 years. The ElDorado EZ Rider II is considered a medium-duty bus, which has a 10 year lifespan by FTA guidelines. Even current heavy-duty buses aren't designed to last 20 years, they have a 12 year lifespan by FTA guidelines.
Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice. These three ingredients were chosen to create the perfect transit buses. But then Professor Rizzieri accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction - Chemical A!

Peter and were in Minot today. We were fortunate to see the AM General buses, all 6 of them. 1016 and 1017 were in the garage being used as spare buses. They are now using rear engine school bus type transits for their school runs so the AMG buses only go out when those buses are out of service. 1015 is still running but is in storage. 1014 may or may not be running. 1012 and 1013 are retired and being used for parts.
1005 and 1006 are fairly recent Eldorado National Ez Rider II buses used for fixed route service.

Not related to AM General buses but this story says that Minot Transit has doubled their adult ridership this year compared to the same period last year! No doubt that is mostly because of the boom times in Western North Dakota.
