Neoplan aren't the best in the LACMTA fleet,these had broken A/C before and yet there dirty.

Boston's MBTA. made an order for some Buses and TC (Trolley Coaches). While Neoplan was starting or was building the Buses. MBTA had cancelled their Order. And Neoplan had to give all the money back. Neoplan had a little money problems before. Due to other small things. But Boston really hurt they bad enough. to cause them to close down. I think a lot of companies was hurting for business at that time. But Neoplan was one of the company. That bit the bullet and bit it hard. That is what I heard.

@WMATAvids I tried to get more recordings of squealing ones but lately it seems I get the non squealers and a squealer will usually pass by across the street! Murphy strikes again...

My friend lives by the 20 Line so I recorded some more Neoplans over this past weekend and ended up on 6491 which was squealing pretty good. All the rest seemed to be fixed, but I saw many squealing New Flyers, mostly in the older Metro colors.
