uptown164 Posted September 24, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2010 I just read that the MTA tested out some double decker buses about 2 years ago do you guys think we should have a few of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted September 24, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2010 I was on Vanhool Double Decker Bus on X30, but it keep hitting the trees. Also, when I was on Grayline's Brooklyn Tour Bus, Double-Decker Bus keep hitting trees because low tree branches were in way. It was same reason with Big Taxi Tour and I thought top was going to hit traffic sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NX Express Posted September 24, 2010 Share #4 Posted September 24, 2010 IIRC, the MTA ordered some double deckers in the 1970s and put them on the 5 Av routes. Apparently, someone forgot to measure the clearance of the traffic lights:eek:, and the buses left.:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Fe via Willow Posted September 26, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 26, 2010 London style doubledecker buses would be a groovy site on Staten Island:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted September 29, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 29, 2010 At one time the MTA wanted some of the buses to deploy on express routes, and 5th Avenue, and Broadway routes IIRC. After MTA tested the buses, they decided not to place an order. Speaking of express buses, I would love for the new order of express buses to go to Nova for the Prevost. I like those buses, and it would deversify the OTR fleet. I caught some shots of it back in '08 at Casleton when Trevor, Ray and I were hunting 3800. That's a bad piece of machinery!
