That would have to do with the tendering process... something I don't know
too much about.

But when something goes to tender, specifications are issued.  So
theoretically the cars (busses) meet the criteria when they arrive.  As
far as I know, New Flyer makes the only low floor bu sof this capacity. 
Other considerations *might* be that this is a Canadian company,
interchange of parts with current inventories etc.

I don't know and can't say for sure.
