RTS 5124

Yes I have taken notice to many changes of routes in the Bronx. Honestly I love it now with the 36 bus being confined to East Tremont Avenue now. You get to the heights and back so much faster now!!! With regard to the Orion 7 next gens, I have already expressed my views about this. The MTA should save some next gens. It is still a very innovative design. It would be a very bad choice to retire all of them. The acceleration and instant torque is still robust. Very fast bus. Very fun to ride on. More exciting to ride than Beeline's Nabi Hybrids. The MTA should save about 30 next gens. Clean and sanitize them inside real good. Give them new shocks and retune the engines. That's it. You don't want to scrap all of them. Trust me.

Rode the N4 a few months ago. Those Orion's sound very bad and they arebt able to pick up speed any more

Well all of you guys criticizing NICE and Gillig, You guys want more Nova's and New Flyers already sprawling all over the whole transit Network or just appreciate the Gilligs. They have been around for over 100 years. So. Obviously they are doing something right. Also at least NICE got the BRT model which is the best looking one out of all of the other Gilligs

beeline needs to focus of going green like everyone else. they don’t need to purchase more New flyers because New Flyer has gotten enough contracts and I feel that Beeline doesn’t need anymore Xcelsiors. Proterra needs this opportunity very badly. I love the Catalyst and BE40 models. They can keep the NABI hybrids. All they have to do is give them new shock absorbers and replace the passenger seat pads. They replace one here and one there but a lot of them are completely worn down i love the NABIs because of the instant torque they can definitely keep the suburban Orion’s. They still look like new the 30 foot baby Orion’s can go because those seats are atrocious
