Grand Concourse Posted December 2, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 2, 2009 Wonderful! But I just don't understand why they would need NGs [with the LI battery] when the line itself isn't that long. It seems like a waste to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted December 2, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 2, 2009 Wonderful! But I just don't understand why they would need NGs [with the LI battery] when the line itself isn't that long. It seems like a waste to me. Well, Lead-Acid batteries are no longer in production, all the NGs comes with Lith-Ion batteries now. Nice shots!

Grand Concourse Posted December 2, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 2, 2009 True. Still that NG seems so out of place. Oh well, it's their bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgedPolaris Posted December 2, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 2, 2009 True. Still that NG seems so out of place. Oh well, it's their bus. Totally, haha. They got coin-operated fare machines? I remember last time I visited RI, I embarrassingly had to tell the bus operator that my girl and I didn't have any change on us (no metro-card in the heart of the five boroughs!??), and if he had change for a $5. He was cool about it, and just said to get on, no problem. Great photos, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
