Novabus 5000 Posted January 29, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice news. I am not trying to get you wrong but the 30-pilot test isn't over yet. So maybe the bus is only doing testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bx41 Wakefield Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice news. I am not trying to get you wrong but the 30-pilot test isn't over yet. So maybe the bus is only doing testing. Yeah, the street I live on seems to be a testing route. I've seen a couple of LFS versions last semester. I just drove by the facility to see if could catch a pic but there was no artic in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bx41 Wakefield Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted January 29, 2010 This I have to see to believe. I don't blame you. I'm not used to seeing MTA buses outside the Metro area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Posted January 29, 2010 Share #8 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice news. I am not trying to get you wrong but the 30-pilot test isn't over yet. So maybe the bus is only doing testing. Actually, the pilot test was 0054. 1200 and 1201 are the first two official buses, and 1200 is just doing acceptance testing to make sure no other specifications need to be changed. In the meantime, to keep the order on time, Nova will start producing buses off the order. If anything needs to be changed it will occur before the buses are driven down to the New York Metro area OR will be done at the Prevost Service Center where the buses are being delivered prior to being accepted by the MTA, depending on if any buses should head to the NY Metro before the acceptance period is over. This is actually the 4th bus I heard that has been completed. A contact of mines at Nova has told me that 1202, 1205 and 1206 are all completed.

Fresh Pond Posted January 29, 2010 Share #9 Posted January 29, 2010 Sweet :tup: But a question I have is why do they skip numbers when they're being delivered? If Bx41 Wakefield says he seen 1203, and Vintage Soul is saying that 1202, 1205 & 1206 is done, then what about 1204? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted January 29, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 29, 2010 This is exciting news! I can't wait to ride on these buses and I hope that I like them or else this excitement will have been in vain and that won't be cool. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to actual delivery, someones there maybe a issue with a specific unit, and the other units will be ready to go, so usually the units that are road ready will ship out while any units with any issues stay behind until they are road ready.

Grand Concourse Posted January 30, 2010 Share #14 Posted January 30, 2010 I am hopeful more of them comes to the city. It would make chasing down the buses easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted January 30, 2010 Share #16 Posted January 30, 2010 Looks like 1201 is underway to come to NYC... 1202, 1203, 1205 and 1206 is completed and testing... And 1204 is somehow not completed yet?!? Cool facts and now I know Novas are produced in UpState in the Champlain region, :tup: ! 1201 was always here...

R32 3348 Posted January 30, 2010 Share #18 Posted January 30, 2010 IIRC 1200 is at GH while 1201 is at Zerega. I'm pretty sure the bus is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted January 31, 2010 Share #22 Posted January 31, 2010 I also had a funny feeling that 1201 is nearby, ...Which is exactly why you just told us you doubted that 1201 was delivered yet and subsequently asked for photo proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
