East New York Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share #27 Posted January 9, 2011 NICE!!! Are these the ones that are suppose to go WF/CP? And i HOPE the keeps it blue, im tired of White and blue strips!! No. This is a diesel electric hybrid. Check out the links I posted above. If we get any of these they will be straight diesel for now. If we get hybrids, it wont be any time soon.

Broadway Local Posted January 10, 2011 Share #29 Posted January 10, 2011 Too many Orion buses that I don't like but not hate. The New Flyer Buses are awesome same as the Novabus! I like New Flyer buses the most! And I like this XDE40 too! :cool::tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted January 10, 2011 Share #30 Posted January 10, 2011 To me, these look like a cross between an Orion NG and a designline. Anyone else get that impression? And that blue destination sign is sweet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted January 10, 2011 Share #32 Posted January 10, 2011 Very different looking. I like that blue LED sign on the front but I don't like the curved glass covering it. That's going to make that sign hard to read in the sun. Now to see how good this bus actually is, we need some inside shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 10, 2011 Share #33 Posted January 10, 2011 I don't like these and like INDMan said, I can see the sign being hard to read. Another issue is will people be confused by these buses since just about all MTA Buses are blue and white?? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted January 10, 2011 Share #34 Posted January 10, 2011 Another issue is will people be confused by these buses since just about all MTA Buses are blue and white? I don't see the TA ordering them in this blue color, I'm sure they will be white with that blue stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted January 10, 2011 Share #35 Posted January 10, 2011 I don't see the TA ordering them in this blue color, I'm sure they will be white with that blue stripe. I think they'd look better too... Hopefully they'll keep the orange color signage. It's a lot easier to read during the day and night time.

INDman Posted January 10, 2011 Share #36 Posted January 10, 2011 I think they'd look better too... Hopefully they'll keep the orange color signage. It's a lot easier to read during the day and night time. Blue and orange are just about the same, but that curved glass will catch glare from every light source out there. In fact, blue can be seen better at night then orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another issue is will people be confused by these buses since just about all MTA Buses are blue and white?? :eek: I actually like the blue signs, but as INDman said, if we were to ever get any, they will be in standard MTA livery with amber LED signs. I also love the LED headlamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
