9484 Grand Ave to Queens Village.

They have the multicolored signs, but they're programmed to Orange for now it seems.

OK, good; just as long as they have them, which I assume means the whole order is getting them.

Do the LFS have colored signs too?

 

1240 on loan to MCH for the M60.

Yes, they do.

9484 GA to QV. Was on the Q43 this afternoon with the decals to boot.

I mentioned it last night already.

[Eric B]

Yes, they do.

Wait, the LFS are the 8000's, right? The picture of 8090 looked like the regular amber sign (the color changing sign doesn't make the same [monochrome] "amber" yellow; it's more like a "lemon" yellow [from what I've seen in the pictures], but 8090 clearly looked amber).

I would wish both orders (all new buses, basically) would get them!

[E For Erica]

Is the front sign the only one multi colored on the new buses or is that just a test?

It's not a test. All of the new buses will have the Luminator Spectrum sign.

[E For Erica]

It's not a test. All of the new buses will have the Luminator Spectrum sign.

I was asking if the front sign is the only one colored while the side and rear sign is just orange?

[Cait Sith]

It's not a test. All of the new buses will have the Luminator Spectrum sign.

Slight correction.

 

All of the Xcelsiors will have Luminator Spectrums

All of the LFSs will have Axion RGB Full Color Destination signs.

So this is a bit wierd, 8999 ENY to GA. It's on the B13 now and I spotted it earlier at WBP. It still has ENY stickers

Oh, so two different RGB models.

 

Still, in this photo, http://tinyurl.com/pl3xjek 8090 looks like it has a regular monochrome sign. (It looks different from the side sign, which looks more "pure yellow", but that's likely from the angle). Unless that's using "orange" instead of yellow like the XD sign.

Yeah, the thing with those signs is that it's harder to get the sign on camera.

 

Examples.

 

This one is orange, when it was programmed as red.

So we have 8999 going from ENY to Grand, yet we have 9484 go from Grand to QV.

 

Therefore they should have sent 8999 to QV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Bangs head against wall.

Relax chile....

Relax chile....

Possibly a loaner or being there due to the delivery of the XD40s. After all,they are replacing the 96 Novas

[T J Trainman]

I was just informed that 9521 was transferred from GA to QV.

[MHV9218]

Repeating a few, but QV has gotten 7 new RTSes...

 

9428, 9600 FP to QV.

9442, 9446, 9484, 9521, 9679 GA to QV.

These moves are getting weird. Is QV short on buses? Edited December 8, 2014 by Armani

[mta B43]

What does Grand get in return?

[mta B43]

Also 9679 is on the B60 so it's not at QV

9688 at GA on the B62 now.

[Kingsbridgeviewer382]

Same for 9442. Its still at Grand Ave on the B62.

Yea, it would be cool if GA trades some of their 97-98 RTS's for some 96-97 RTS's but so far 8999 and 9688 are recent transfers to GA.

I saw that bus yesterday around 6:00 P.M at the B38 terminal in Downtown Brooklyn. I thought it was a B25 short turn.
