North Lynson Rapid Transit

North Lynson Rapid Transit (NLRT) is the local bus system serving all of North Lynson and parts of Central Lynson and MissGab. It was originally founded in 1973 as LRT North Lynson Bus. Buses in the NLRT were originally diesel powered. In 1994, North Lynson County Executive Edward Hatrqf  announces that all future fix-route buses will be CNG powered in order to reduce air pollution. And the last diesel buses for NLRT were produced in 1993. In 2011,due to budget cuts, the LRT announces that Transdev will take over the system under a new name: North Lynson Rapid Transit. And starting January 1, 2012, LRT North Lynson Bus is no more. Buses will be upgraded with new announcements, including the warning announcement when the bus is turning in both English and Lynoxian.
==History==
In order to prevent a shortage of buses in North Lynson, North Lynson County Executive Edward Harfqf created the transit system called LRT North Lynson Bus in 1973, 1 month after his inauguration in January 1, 1973.
==Bus fleet==
As of 1994, all fixed-route NLRT buses are CNG powered. The last produced diesel buses for NLRT ware retired in 2013 at 20 years in service. All buses were delivered with fiberglass seating, but some units were replaced with suburban seating for N4X and N6X service.
