King Transit

This is now my second RTS review, more interesting than the 1999s review.

 YouTube comments and YouTube videos are just as reliable as Wikipedia; anyone can say anything to throw people off.

I have made an XE60 news video that recommended his. I never put the change of fleet numbers in my video. This is the topic of ..."To be determined".

My first review of an LFS model !

That Baby Blue theme would of look much better as the NYCT buses color scheme. At night the current new scheme makes the bus looks dark on the road and the only way you can tell its a bus coming down the road at night is by the  destination sign and the LED head lights.

Speaking of that, this is also why I'm still drawing the XE60 this week in cuomo version. I also wished to rear caps are off. Also, did it pull away from the depot today ? If not, I'll see about tommorow and days after.

This was at Broadway Junct. before being sent to FB Depot

 I posted that in the transfer section too. I almost died on this bed, seeing this on discord first

If not mentioned, there's an XE60 at FB depot. I almost died on this bed for that.

Yes, that's correct. Info was pulled from the finalized operator's manual. 

Oh great, I uploaded an XN60 review(3 weeks ago) on Youtube and now I receive a mistake. Maybe this is why there aren't a sound recording for #1016-20, I knew that they sound similar as I said in my vid.

Rushed retirement of the RTS. Some LFS are bound for Jamaica to retire RTS there.

Now cause the RTS' to be down to the quantity of 25

7578 has a front ad 

I was talking with my art teacher this morning(whilst I was making cuomo livery bus in pics). She isn't a transit fan and she was asking me if these Xcelsiors don't receive front ads, I said "no". Now I have to show her this and thanks for being the lucky catch for this rare bus ad post. I hate the ad on the front of this Xcelsior's face.

How come Brooklyn depots get no LFS? Would like to see them on South Brooklyn lines.

Same with UP and ENY that gave up their LFS', the BK depots cannot get the LFS' due to mileage purposes/proposals(besides durability). Brooklyn is one of the shortest boroughs that don't have the big corridors(spaced out widths), so those Xcelsiors they have are deemed better for the stop/go process.

This is also a review(uploaded on 12/09/18) to be poste here. This is where you guys count this bus as a best CNG bus. However, it's not because of it's growls increasing complaints which is why they are my least favorite.

It’s just like 8090 all over again.

Why are they doing this again? If it’s because of the new driver side windows, wouldn’t it be more logical to have the new windows on the 2018 8504 the first time around rather than making one 8504 with old windows and making another 8504 with the new windows?

It would've been a great idea rather than a waste of at least 55G on one bus to replace as the same unit number. This is maybe/probably because, Nova were still planning how to create the Hi-Vis window

Where did 8504 go? I've been trying to track it for the past month with no luck.

It was a demo for the Summer of 2018. So, it went back to the plant before this year, another LFS will be #8504 as a successor of that 2018 unit

That doesn't make any sense...

But now that I think about it...Nova with its ONE plant building all these buses probably doesn't have time to paint buses. Why not just have NEBR apply the stripes and decals? Probably need to be Nova certified?

Or maybe their paint shop is down and there's no where else to paint buses up there. 

Well here's it from today. Here you go  @King Transit since you were FEENING to see what it looks like without stripes.

Do we know which units and how many have been built already?

I saw a pic of 8546 without stripes but I wonder if all units from 8504 to 8546 are built or are they skipping around numbers.

Really??? Where's the pic ?
