East New York Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share #62 Posted August 19, 2010 Is this bus gonna be here tomorrow? , Anybody going to see it? Yes it will be here for a few days. I'm still waiting on word of the status of this bus. Is it just a demo? Is it the pilot? I think it may be both a demo, and may return as part of the order. I will know all the details soon. However, I do know for a fact that this is the demonstrator for the pending order of 90 buses which will begin production sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bus, called "Sales 1" has toured a number of transit agencies and has been displayed at conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share #68 Posted August 19, 2010 Ok, so here it is. The bus is just a demo for the pending order. It will be here for a few days, and executives from Orion will also be coming to the city to discuss the evaluation results of the bus with MTA officials. At that time, they will finalize the deal for the 90 3G's, go over the specs for the new buses, and soon start on bus #1 of the order. At this time it is still unclear if the MTA will demo the new bus, or go ahead with the pilot from the new order. I will have more details after Orion execs. meet with MTA execs. in the coming days.

Harry Posted August 19, 2010 Share #75 Posted August 19, 2010 That guy has an axe to grind with this place yet he still posts stuff from here over on subchat. Don't bother with him. I don't even try to understand what his deal is with hating this place and always putting it down. They usually sign up here with different handles and join in the conversations like nothing happen. Like shit is sweet. It's been going on ever since I launched this place back in 2007. We don't pay any attention to them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
