[SEA]New Flyer D60LF & DE60LF

Seattle擁有超過200多架DE60LF﹐全部配有Catapillar C9柴油引擎 & Allison Ep50推動系統﹐主要用黎replace批Dual Mode Breda巴士﹐現時個批DE60LF係由King County Metro & Sound Transit (Operated by King County Metro)所擁有~~











同時﹐Seattle King County Metro亦擁有25架D60LF﹐同DE60LF一樣配上Catapillar C9引擎﹐但波箱係Allison B500R5波箱﹐你地可以留意到D60LF第二節係無舊大tank﹐但DE60LF有~~

I have the other question for it, how come Sound Transit buses have the driver from these 3 agencies??

Because sound transit doesn't hire their own drivers, they only have the revenue rights and buying rights for buses, also, voters vote down the measure for having a new bus depot and new driver recults (support by 3 transit union, cause of fear of jobloss) also, if the vote pass, that means increase on gas tax again...since we have the highest gas tax in the nation now...

Therefore, they uses Pierce, Metro, First Community and some Everette Transit drivers for Sound Transit, and those buses are park at their depots, however, most of these drivers, wears sound transit uniforms, also, in emergency/ peak hour, sound transit allows those transit agency uses buses to fill in the routes that belongs to their corresponing county, such as having King County Metro NFI D60H filling in at route 550/ 545, etc...
