Nice map.
Do you have the real version of Azkidenz-Grotesk, or a clone? I ask because the "real" version costs upwards of $800, while the "Basic Commercial" clone is only $129.
They're both roughly the same size. In fact, the DesignLine bus is a bit bigger than the Orion VII NG (compare 42 feet with 41.2 feet.)
And what great features are we talking about? :confused:
It would be nice if Gleason received the next-generation Orion VIIs (after all, I ride the B75 from time to time) but I would rather see them go to depots such as Ulmer Park or Jamaica that currently have no low-floor buses, for maximum accessibility. Most of Gleason's fleet is low-floor already except for the Orion V CNGs.
I was nearly hit by one of those deathtraps a few weeks ago. I was crossing a street and had the right of way, but the dollar van driver didn't even notice me and sped past within inches of me. Unfortunately, I didn't get the plate number.
