Coaches appeal to Aspenites
Article Abstract:
The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) in Colorado has replaced its 40-foot articulated buses with four D4500 coaches manufactured by Motor Coach Industries (MCI) for an express route between Aspen and Glenwood. Skepticisms by the operators regarding the performance of these coaches were changed after they went for a test drive and found that driving the vehicle was the same as articulated buses except for a minor adjustment to accommodate a different turning radius.
