Riverside, CA – Two buses, one a Neoplan 40ft and the other a Neoplan 60ft artic, arrived from San Francisco MUNI in early January to kick-off the journey of a very important 62-bus rehab project. Now, Complete Coach Works is proud to announce that both buses have completed the intense rehab process. They have passed the transit agency’s rigorous inspection with flying colors, and have been delivered back to San Francisco to be put into service.
Before arriving, these buses were covered with graffiti and were showing the wear and tear of years of service, however, through the rehab process the interiors were transformed into a fresh and clean look that will help welcome San Francisco MUNI riders.
Each of the 62 buses in the rehab project will receive structural repairs, refurbished operator’s console, new operator’s seat, new 5-position door controller, new flooring, interior anti-graffiti coating, new exterior high luster paint and decals, bright exterior LED lights, new propulsion package, new suspension, rebuilt steering gear box, new exterior surveillance camera, and all LED bright destination signs for outstanding daytime visibility and ensuring ADA compliance.
Additional items for the 60ft articulated buses include new hydraulic rams, proportioning valves, accumulator, bearings and steering lever and hydraulic hoses.
