History

These 120 buses were part of the first large order of Grumman Flxible's Advanced Design Bus, 851 buses under the operation of NYCTA and the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority. Before long, structural and mechanical problems forced the buses off the streets of New York. These problems included engines dropping out of buses, floor and A-frame cracks, and one bus spontaneously bursting into flames. Flxible (no longer under the control of Grumman by this time) bought back the buses, reinforced the A-frames and sold them to New Jersey Transit for a fraction of their original cost, and the buses began running for NJ Transit in September 1986. The rebuilt buses were so successful, NJ Transit ordered 500 more which began appearing the next year, and continued to buy buses from Flxible until 1994, just before the company went out of business for good.
