Disney Bus Types

[maxmix]

Just got back from Port Orleans, and have a question to ask about Disney Bus types (sorry if it's in the wrong place, but I'm not sure where else to post this question)

The original buses were the RTS, most of these are now being replaced (Right??)

They were slowly being replaced by the Nova in around 2003

Which in turn are now being replaced by the Gilig (is that right??)

My questions are -

What are Disney doing with the Retired RTS Buses??

What is happening to the Nova's (If anything) ??

Finally, Do Disney buy the Gilig's??, or do they have them under some sort of hire agreement??

Looking forward to your responses!!

Yes.

Yes, but the Nova's started coming in earlier than that, maybe around 2000.

Which in turn are now being replaced by the Gilig (is that right??)

No, the Gilligs are replacing the remaining RTS's, and increasing the fleet size.

My questions are -

What are Disney doing with the Retired RTS Buses??

A few are kept for spare parts. I'm not sure, but I think the rest are just being scrapped.

What is happening to the Nova's (If anything) ??

AFAIK, nothing. Most of them are getting the job done just fine. 10 new Novas were added to the fleet in 2010.

Finally, Do Disney buy the Gilig's??, or do they have them under some sort of hire agreement??

They're either purchased or leased; I don't know which.
