Boston Failure of the Day: More European Junk for the MBTA
After wasting $250 million on Italian-made Green Line Cars that lterally can't travel more than 15 mph without falling off the track, the "T" yesterday pulled 15% of its bus fleet out of service at the height of Friday evening rush hour! This after steering problems appeared to make the brand new buses drive into tunnel walls and moving cars. All of affected the buses were new, Dutch-made Neoplan models. Good thing the new Blue Line cars are coming from France...

From the article linked: The MBTA acquired the buses, manufactured by Neoplan USA Corp., about a year ago and have not had any major problems until yesterday, Pesaturo said.
Dutch buses you say?
