City of Honolulu Partners with Nova Bus
The City of Honolulu has placed an order valued at $10 million for 24 Nova LFS buses, with options on additional vehicles. The buses will be assembled in Nova Bus’ Tech Valley plant and delivered in late 2010.
The City of Honolulu and Oahu Transit Services are keenly customer-focused, and Nova Bus is proud to partner with them in enhancing their fleet, which provides over 72.5 million rides annually to the community of Honolulu.
Nova Bus President and CEO Mr. Gilles Dion welcomed the news, stating, “The Nova Bus team is thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with an innovative organization like the City of Honolulu. We realize the pivotal role public transit plays in their community, and we will work diligently to make this partnership a mutual success.”
Since opening its facilities in Plattsburgh, Nova Bus has been awarded contracts totaling over $120 million from transit authorities such as MTA/New York City Transit and CT Transit. Nova Bus’ presence in Tech Valley has led to the creation of more than 250 direct jobs and five times as many indirect jobs through productive relationships with over 150 suppliers.
The Nova LFS is engineered around a unique stainless steel structure, which presents a distinct advantage in areas where corrosion is a significant concern, such as Honolulu. The bus is designed with riders in mind, with large, 360-degree windows for maximum natural light, and wide doors and aisles for easy access.
