I am not suprise that the Enviro pass the buy US ACT, as there seats, Mirrors, Engines, Electrical system is made in the US.
I have been told there is also an exception if there is no such product Made in the US.

CAT did not use Federal money to buy Enviro 500 indeed, according to general manager of RTC.
In addition, those double deckers on the deuce route (strip local) have roughly 150-180% fare recovery ratio. So say it is one of very few exceptions in the country that agency can make money by the service.
