NextTRANSPORT Solutions

nextTRANSPORT Solutions is a Roblox chassis and body producer owned by CommodoreCDTV. The company provides chassis parts, bodies and complete buses to various customers. It formerly upgraded for vehicles on the WAVE chassis to use A-Chassis, albeit on a limited scale. The company ceased operations on February 1, 2020, then resumed again in May 2020.

Their buses are recognized for their high quality products that work realistically and getting more companies into the industry. The chassis still operates and is in use; however, maintenance of the WAVE chassis is up to operators that acquired vehicles. Buses now use SecondLogic's A-Chassis, a proven base that is used on countless vehicles throughout Roblox.

nextTRANSPORT claims to also build rail vehicles but no orders for these (except commemorative models) were ever built other than tech support for groups that operate rail vehicles. The group also produced CLRVs for Tobes Transportation Authority and York Transportation Authority.

No official successor has been named when the company went on hiatus; however, an unofficial successor is Brake_Handle, which has used the A-Chassis to produce various bus models for the company's customers.

On April 28, 2020, nextTRANSPORT resumed operations after it had split from Autologic Systems. Business had resumed as of May 3, 2020.

History
nextTRANSPORT started out with the heavily unsupported Toronto Bus Simulator in 2017, creating various models of Toronto Transit Commissions buses from the 1980s to the present. This map soon gained fame but the chassis was deemed unreliable, despite allowing people to drive TTC buses from various eras without training.

Around June 2019, WAVE Solutions shut down after a poor reputation, lack of support and backlash from the community. DigitalizedNightmare (aka CommodoreCDTV) then formed nextTRANSPORT as a replacement. nextTRANSPORT pledged to support and fix WAVE vehicles (which never came to fruition) while also developing their own vehicles. Before they started releasing original buses, they made memes pointing on the now defunct WAVE Solutions. They promised to fulfill what could have been possible with the bugged W2 chassis and to make it one of the most used chassis systems by various operators, in a bid to make a uniformed chassis system to rival those produced by other agencies.

By July 2019, the TTA began to replace the older WAVE buses with the nextTRANSPORT Orion VII OGs, which replaced some of the company's New Flyer Xcelsiors.

nextTRANSPORT further provided the Orion VII to Nassau Transportation Authority, which proved to be a hit. The company also produced Orion Vs, which were sold on a more limited niche (only two operators ever received them). A demonstrator Orion VII OG also was sent to York Transportation Authority sometime in late 2019 and demonstrators of both Orion models were also kept with TTA.

In late 2019, nextTRANSPORT sent its chassis to the Regional Transportation Commission in Las Vegas, Nevada after selling its developer, CrazyCatsTV the Orion VII OG. The company also attempted to build vintage buses, such as the GM New Look, which was cancelled shortly after its announcement (however, demonstrators were sent to York Transportation Authority and did enter service there). Their major flaw was that they never revived the dropped New Flyer XD40, the Neoplan AN440 or the New Flyer D40LF; although plans to reintroduce them surfaced in 2020 and 2021 (they had been partnered with MBTA's MBOC program). However, former developer TheFordInterceptor did add a modified WAVE Xcelsior to the lineup using a modified A-Chassis, a standard known throughout Roblox. The bus was identical to it's WAVE counterpart except that the actual chassis was swapped with A-Chassis. The GUI and scripts by WAVE were still there.

In October 2019, nextTRANSPORT gave away two buses built by its founder originally for the Toronto Bus Driving Simulator to Royal Transit Authority as part of a raffle. The two buses were an Orion V and Orion VII OG diesel. Since RTA's closure, it is unlikely that these two buses are operational.

As of February 1, 2020, DigitalizedNightmare announced that nextTRANSPORT would (temporarily) shut down and no longer provide support to agencies that use its products. The company has further protected their Twitter account as of January 30, 2020 and it would no longer be updated while they were on hiatus. However, the group did exist in name only and future models by the respective developers would be branded as nextTRANSPORT vehicles to differentiate from WAVE and Translogic Systems; despite the latter two having deleted their Twitter accounts. The company made its Twitter account public again upon its return a few months later.

Even though the company shortly went defunct, the company merged with Translogic Systems, becoming nextLogic Systems while production continues for new agencies, using the same chassis as a base. However, the company did return on April 28, 2020. It would continue to use A-Chassis instead of the Wave chassis, which has become standard for most buses that formerly used the WAVE V2 system. The company also ended its relationship with nextLogic, who shortly changed their name to Autologic Systems.

In July 2020, nextTRANSPORT released teasers of its latest models: the New Flyer D40LF and the NABI 40-SFW with 2nd generation bodywork. In August 2020, the NABI 40-SFW was put into service with TTA and Manhattan Transit Commission with a beta version of their updated operating system.

On September 1, 2020, nextTRANSPORT added Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA) to its alliance, which meant that Gillig buses were once again supported by nextTRANSPORT.

In November 2020, nextTRANSPORT announced it would add The Bee-Line System to its alliance. In the same month, nextTRANSPORT released development photos of a New Flyer XD40; although it is unknown what model year they are planning to specify the bus on. The bus will allow nextTRANSPORT to provide most 40' models used by the majority of North American transit agencies. The XD40 is to be released in January 2021 alongside the D40LF and NABI LFW (2nd Generation). The group also started its Metro Halton Transportation Authority subsidiary around this time.

On December 20, 2020, following CommodoreCDTV's resignation from TTA, nextTRANSPORT announced it had severed ties with them (while it would still maintain Niagara Region/St Catharines Transit Commission), although deliveries would continue if permitted by Brake_Handle. This caused TTA to enter a hiatus.

On December 27, 2020, NextTransport stated in a press release on Twitter that it would be seeking to expand its lineup in 2021, since it had kept it too long a secret. According to the statement, the company will expand its model lineup to include more Orion models, the Gillig Advantage and the New Flyer LFR series. The company also plans to replace the current NovaBUS LFS and LFSA which have been neglected since early 2020.

On January 5, 2021, NextTRANSPORT released its new chassis software, known as neXodus OS to provide the GUI used on vehicles. It would be applied to all new buses for its customers, although it is still based off the A-Chassis.

As of March 2021, nextTRANSPORT is planning to add a Neoplan AN440LF to its lineup with development photos released on Twitter. The now-cancelled TTA New Flyer D40LF order, which was announced in December 2020 ended up in service with York Transportation Authority.

On April 6, 2021, Roblox locked nextTRANSPORT's group for terms of service violations, likely due to a false report on a purchase via a donation gamepass. The company is continuing to develop and release more buses for its partners.

On April 7, 2021, development pictures were released for the second generation NovaBUS LFS with flip-dot displays, made to an unknown specification.

On April 16, 2021, nextTRANSPORT put 2020 New Flyer XD60s, based on New Jersey Transit's specifications into service with Manhattan Transit Commission (along with one branded for New Jersey Transit). A hybrid variant of the same specification is operated by Bee Line System. Three-door versions, which are used by most urban and Canadian systems are yet to be produced to the current standard.

As of October 2021, nextTRANSPORT has put New Flyer DE40LFs in service with Manhattan Transit Authority (which was changed from the intended D40LF) order, based on the MBOC model used by MBTA Roblox. These models are compatible with the Xbox controller unlike previous buses operated by the company.

In November 2021, nextTRANSPORT's Twitter page posted photos of a blank Orion V under development, which is likely to replace their first-generation model with an even more realistic one.

Unauthorized Use
After some agencies fell out with using nextTRANSPORT vehicles (NTA and Royal Transit Authority), vehicles were continued to be used without their permission. On their Twitter account, the company has blamed operators for reusing the vehicles, even after the fallout. Specifically, Brake_Handle has been making Nassau Transit Authority remove his models from their inventory throughout 2020 after they fell out with nextTRANSPORT. Many of these models ended up being released onto the public Roblox library and were put in service with various groups. Other leaked buses released to the public library included TTA vehicles, mainly the Orion V and Orion VII OG (in both diesel and hybrid variants).

As of August 2020, the controversy has continued while as a result, NTA did release nextTRANSPORT vehicles after closing down (mostly made by Brake_Handle) onto the public market, where they can be found with various agencies. Royal Transit Authority, on the other hand has in fact removed CommodoreCDTV's NovaBUS LFS from service in October 2020, after being found guilty of using it in September 2020 after issuing a false statement, then allegedly found it in service. As of recently, the models have been believed to be taken down although places with the leaked models can be found.

Most nextTRANSPORT models that were continuing to be used without permission were to be taken down by filing complaints via Roblox's DMCA takedown feature. Other models have either been undiscovered, not reported, or difficult to take down/reach due to the fact that many users with leaked models often hide their inventories from the public. However, the damage has been done.

In April 2022, nextTRANSPORT performed another DMCA takedown, resulting in at least one account being deleted and poison banned from Roblox. This was again to remove leaked nextTRANSPORT models from the Roblox library.
