-----------------------------------Addition Information--------------------------------

Mr. David Varner stated that the MTA have been in discussion with "Proterra Bus" for an order of a BE40 ("Battery-electric" 40-footer), but may go back to New Flyer Industries to order the XE40 (Battery-electric) model if tests in Chicago (or CTA) fulfill anticipation to operate in an inner-city environment. All of this is pending for later in 2013.
