Oh, hey, a wiki! Thinking of the 900-1016 numbers retired in 2013. I'll be very impressed if these electric buses last 30-35 years. Not saying it's a bad buy, but I'd imagine they'd need to have the entire electric system replaced a few times over 30 years.

those old GMC "jimmies" had multiple mid life refurbishments to last that long.
For fleet planning discussions, American transit systems sell their buses after 12 years. Canadian transit systems scrap their buses after 20 years
