New Flyer High Floor

The New Flyer High Floor was the conventional, high-floor transit bus line that New Flyer Industries built from 1987 to 2006. It came as a 35-foot rigid, a 40-foot rigid and a 60-foot articulated bus, with diesel or natural gas engines and either V-drive or T-drive transmission couplings, plus a single articulated electric trolleybus variant, the E60, built only for San Francisco Muni. The first buses were D40-87 models delivered to the Toronto Transit Commission and Winnipeg Transit in 1987, and the articulated D60 first went to AC Transit in 1989. When the low-floor New Flyer introduced in 1991 proved more popular, diesel rigid High Floor production ended in 1996 and natural gas versions in 1999, while the articulated bus lasted until early 2006. Muni received 60 E60 trolleybuses in 1993, and the last of them was retired in 2015.
