El Dorado Axxess 40 (LED)

The El Dorado Axxess 40 (more commonly known as LEDs, or Long El Dorados), are a class of 40-foot, rear-engined, air-brake equipped, CNG-powered buses currently in the shuttles fleet.

Characteristics
LEDs are characterized by their immense passenger capacity, reasonably high fuel capacity, and formidable tailswing and front overhang.

Despite the LEDs' name they are, in fact, longer than forty feet. Sizing regulations dictate that a bus's front and rear bumper may exceed the quoted length of the vehicle. Therefore, LEDs are closer to 41 feet long, not counting the bike rack, making them the longest vehicles in the shuttles fleet.

Mechanically, the LEDs are comparatively reliable, but they sometimes experience issues with their air conditioners blowing warm air.

They are the flagship buses of the Arriba Route, and are also prominent on CMC.
