Cait Sith Posted March 23, 2010 Share #26 Posted March 23, 2010 Thread renamed and sticky'd, I will be keeping a close eye on all these threads. According to TTMG, 1303 is still at MJQ, but I believe that is wrong. Does anyone know if 1303 went back to MJQ after staying at AMS for just two days or less? I had reported that 1303 was at MJQ, it was there for a day because of problems that occured with 1302, it was spotted on the M30 by KR and I caught it the next day seen in those videos on the M1. I don't see how buses being delivered by flatbed add to the delivery time. When buses are delivered by flatbed, it takes more time since there would be limited amount of flatbed trucks to deliver these buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Bus Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share #27 Posted March 23, 2010 According to one of the pics I saw here, 1306 has the same kind of LED as 1304. Will the rest of the designlines being delivered have this kind of LED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the rest of the designlines being delivered have this kind of LED? Who knows, there has been spec changes over the last few buses. Turbine went up from a C30 to a C65, rear seating changes & luminator changes along with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOB2RTO Posted March 23, 2010 Share #29 Posted March 23, 2010 The slower the order is, the better. Yuck to the Designlines. I may want more variety but this was not what I had in mind. lol I agree with you wholeheartedly on that........... I agree.Make it a sticky thread.Designline isn`t anything to sleep on. Or ride on........ I would have though Designline would have put a design in their Designline bus, but, to me, they clearly said "hell away with that".......

I agree only with the back of the bus design.Its plain and dull.No style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aemoreira81 Posted March 23, 2010 Share #32 Posted March 23, 2010 According to what I see, is gonna deliver the LFSA's first before these buses. For those who love the designlines will have to wait a little longer -( Makes sense, so that the MTA does not have to break in more than one model of bus at a time.

R110B Posted March 23, 2010 Share #33 Posted March 23, 2010 Makes sense, so that the MTA does not have to break in more than one model of bus at a time.And Lets Not Forget that 1200 comes before 1300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted March 23, 2010 Share #34 Posted March 23, 2010 They could both come in at the same time, like they are already. Both are still in the early delivery stages, it's not like both are coming in masses yet. BTW, according to Buschat 1305 is at Zerega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queens Surface Posted March 23, 2010 Share #35 Posted March 23, 2010 Because there are only so many flatbeds that can be put in to service, but when the buses are driven to the TA, more can be delivered at one time. Ah ok got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bx41 Wakefield Posted March 25, 2010 Share #37 Posted March 25, 2010 I agree only with the back of the bus design.Its plain and dull.No style. I like the rear of this bus. It's real sleek. Can someone refresh my memory, is this an all low floor bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted March 25, 2010 Share #38 Posted March 25, 2010 It's the standard low floor bus. Low floor in the front, step up staircase to high floor section in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted March 25, 2010 Share #39 Posted March 25, 2010 You're not missing much. Clearly you are not missing anything at all.... and @aemoreira81, they will be delivering both models at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princelex Posted March 25, 2010 Share #40 Posted March 25, 2010 In a perfect world, they wouldn't be ordering that shit at all. With them about to cut bus service the last thing the needs to do is order new stuff, especially when it's as inferior as the Designline buses. Rehab what's in ECH and call it a day.

Princelex Posted March 25, 2010 Share #41 Posted March 25, 2010 One more thing, they've been testing that bus for nearly a year now. I've never heard of them testing for a bus as long as they have for this shit. If they can't figure that thing out now, then they don't need to spend money to buy this crap. It's totally useless IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's totally useless IMHO. IAWTP. Its not 1 year... its 3+ years, doesnt matter what kind of DesignLine buses (demo or contract order), they use the same type of powertrain package.... it shouldnt take this long... They are buying too much time in this order. IMO, cancelled the order. This turbine technology needs further researching until it reaching 100% passing in NYC streets.

aemoreira81 Posted March 26, 2010 Share #47 Posted March 26, 2010 I haven't even seen one yet. They look for you (in Manhattan), not the other way around. They do bounce too much though (experience riding 1303 on the B13 when it was assigned to Grand Avenue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Bus Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share #50 Posted March 29, 2010 I had reported that 1303 was at MJQ, it was there for a day because of problems that occured with 1302, it was spotted on the M30 by KR and I caught it the next day seen in those videos on the M1. It is clear to me that 1302 has had terrible failures since it has been at Manhattanville depot. I think 1302 should get an early state inspection just in case cause it's not normal for a brand new bus to break down too much, or is it normal? What is the problem with 1302 lately?:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
