[edit] Broken link

The GilligCoaches.net link appears to be broken. It should either be corrected or removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.131.226.136 (talk • contribs) .

Why don't you be bold and make the changes? SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

The GilligCoaches.NET link issue was the result of a drawn-out billing error with my webhosting service. The site is now back online, and more improvements are on the way. User:Srosenow_98

[edit] Clients

Could anyone add a list of clients? Andros 1337 14:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't particularly see the purpose that would serve at this location. I fear it would clutter up this wonderful article. I think if you're going to mention who's got rolling stock from who, the best place to do so is in the article for the transit agency rather than the rolling stock manufacturer. In other words, I find it better to say, "Metrobus has six Flxibles and three Orions" rather than "Flxible sold six buses to Metrobus". See what I mean? SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:11, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

The New Flyer Industries article has a list of clients, and I don't think there are as many clients of Gillig buses than there are of New Flyer buses. Andros 1337 16:42, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Both of you are right, however a clients list could pose a problem considering that Gillig's bread and butter has been selling to small and medium sized transit authorities. A list of key Gillig buyers (either 200+ buses or a relationship going back many years) would work, but even listing some of the few-bus agencies that bought a Gillig or two over the years would be unwieldy. New Flyer, on the other hand, has sold to most major authorities in both the U.S. and Canada and such a list is more workable and relevant in their case. Scrabbleship 20:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
