Does anyone know how "Flxible" is pronounced? -Rcsheets 00:50, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
The only Flxible Metros that came to Canada were bought second-hand from U.S. transit systems. Even then they were not used there for very long. Vaughan Transit of Canada (now York Region Transit) should not be considered as a major user of the Flxible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.50.140.91 (talk • contribs)
What does this add to the article? I say it adds nothing to the article, and is nothing more than listcruft. If a transit agency is notable in the context of the company, like New York with the frame fiasco, then sure. Otherwise, it doesn't add anything, so it's gone.

There is a popular hobby of photgraphing and cataloging buses of all different types. This becomes more rewarding especially as bus models become rarer. I would propose the list, formerly known as 'Transit Customers' be reinstated as 'Systems where Flxible buses are still in operation'. Or pehaps two lists: 'Former Flxible Operators' and 'Current Flxible Operators'. Either would be valuable from a historical perspective of demonstrating how ubiquitous Flxible buses had become in the Later part of the 20th Century.
Perhaps other regular contributors could comment, other than SchuminWeb or myself? Highspeed 01:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm for any proposal for including a list of owners of a specific piece of equipment. It helps make the article more valuable from an education point of view. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 19:37, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
GM did indeed build a V-8 model New Look Bus, and the New York City Transit Authority ordered them for service on lines where the V-6 model didn't have enough power to get out of its own way. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 19:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone provide a source for the assertion that FLXIBLE was coined so that it "could be registered as a trademark"? "FLEXIBLE" has also been registered by numerous companies over the years and FLXIBLE is phonetically identical. The FLXIBLE brand had been in use on the products (and company name) for over 20 years before they ever filed for federal registration. There may have been a business reason for making it more distinctive, but probably not the one stated in the article. Lupinelawyer (talk) 12:55, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

I deleted the Clipper Eagle as a Flxible model. These coaches were actually Hi Levels. Clipper Eagle was what Continental Trailways called these buses when they entered service in 1960 and this name had nothing to do with Flxible. Michou 13 (talk) 22:01, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
