Historic Bus Fleet #2013, Serial# D901A-10235-2073*
The 2000 series New Flyers were received in May 1981 to replace the aging GMC 700 series, and were manufactured by New Flyer Industries in Canada. The New Flyers were the first new buses purchased by the District in over 10 years and the first fitted with a wheelchair lift. Other features included air conditioning and power steering. Coach #2013 was retired in July 1997 and ‘saved’ from disposal to be added to the Historic Fleet. It is currently in storage in the Hayward yard.
