MUNI's first purchase from New Flyer were 1988 and 1989 D40's, though there had been previous purchase of Flyer products before. The 1988's consisted of 50 buses (8801-8850) and the 1989's consisted of 56 buses (8901-8956). These buses are powered by Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engines and Allison HTB748 transmissions. These buses in 2006 were the oldest buses that MUNI operated and are nearing retirement.
MUNI in 1991 took delivery of 24 new D60 models (9101-9124). These buses also were powered by Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engines and Allison HTB748 transmissions.
MUNI in 1993/1994 took delivery of 60 E60's (7000-7059). These buses are very rare as only MUNI is the only transit agency to operate a high floor electric trolley bus built by New Flyer. Demand for electric trolley buses in the late 80's and early/mid 90's was very low as the few North American cities that decided to keep their trolley bus systems did not require replacement of their equipment during this time.
