LRG Posted June 14, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 14, 2010 The LFSAs are great! I really hope that New York gets the LFS now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princelex Posted June 14, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 14, 2010 Thank you for the info and thank you for making some really solid buses for NY again. I look forward to seeing more Nova LFSA's and even LFS's here in NYC in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted June 15, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 15, 2010 They are already flooding the M15 right now. It comes to say, a shot of the NF artics on the M15 would be prized now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted June 17, 2010 Share #8 Posted June 17, 2010 Are we really? Yes! At this time it is still unofficial, but the TA will be ordering about 345 more IIRC. We need them badly, and I think they just wanted to know how the first lot of 90 would hold up on our streets. It's a 99.99% chance the order will be awarded to Nova by year's end.

I love the LFS! I'd especially like to see them in Staten Island too :cool: So will the incoming buses be 60-footers or 40-footers? I heard that the TA liked 0055 giving it positive reviews.

MattTrain Posted June 17, 2010 Share #12 Posted June 17, 2010 I say the M23 and the M101,102 and 103 should get them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted June 17, 2010 Share #20 Posted June 17, 2010 What happened to the NovaBus LFS (40 footer) order for NYC? No such order. MTA has only demoed the LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Posted June 18, 2010 Share #22 Posted June 18, 2010 What happened to the NovaBus LFS (40 footer) order for NYC? That order was contingent upon us canceling the DesignLine order in which we have not so NO 40-foot Novas, for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear that there was an option order for more of the LFSA's so to hear this is very encouraging. I know I'm jumping the gun but I wonder if for the other lines the buses could go to, would the buses have 3 doors or 2 doors like the NF Artics?

I'd be shocked if it's nothing other than three-doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothian Posted June 18, 2010 Share #25 Posted June 18, 2010 We will be building a demo in august! Another one? Didn't they test 0055 long enough? Or is this one maybe built to different specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
