checkmatechamp13 Posted February 17, 2012 Share #801 Posted February 17, 2012 No idea... They started showing up a few weeks ago. What annoys me is when they run nothing but those damn nasty Orions. They must take them out of storage and run them at certain times to have the newer buses repaired or whatever. In any event I hate it. Well, as my signature says, I'm lovin' it.

Talk about a white lie. I tell ya, if you were waiting for a bus along the Henry Hudson Parkway as I have you'd see that an express bus is far more appealing looks wise than a boring local bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted February 17, 2012 Share #804 Posted February 17, 2012 The only expresses I like aesthetically are the Prevosts. The MCIs are boring now, and I'm glad that there's variety to the express fleet at last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because every MCI in revenue in service is so vividly different from one another. Different taillights and headlights a different bus does not make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted February 17, 2012 Share #807 Posted February 17, 2012 Once again, I get 262 going home on the B35. I swear if its not that one, its 232 that I see every day...methinks they replaced my original stalker (9141) B) Yes, because every MCI in revenue in service is so vividly different from one another. Different taillights and headlights a different bus does not make. The only MCI that stood out above the others (before they scrapped it) was 2006.

Different taillights and headlights a different bus does not make. Ugh... Some people don't know elegance when they see it. There is nothing more classier and elegant in the fleet than the MCI express bus, particularly the MCI D4500. This is my message for the day and I approve of it. You want to talk about boring?? Those NICE buses are boring... :eek: The only expresses I like aesthetically are the Prevosts. The MCIs are boring now, and I'm glad that there's variety to the express fleet at last. LOL... I hate those Prevosts... I forget which B/O it was that said it on here, but they look and feel cheap. Those seats are terrible. I tried giving them a second chance but they are just blah. When you have a well crafted bus you don't need variety. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted February 17, 2012 Share #813 Posted February 17, 2012 Saw an Orion V from CS the other day coming off the Q88 with the sign displaying "X17A". Before I could even get my camera out he drove off. Looks like we have another codebreaker! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ok...and that's the reason why the 1998 and 1999 MCIs are already going out the door whereas we still have Orion 5s and RTS' from 1995 STILL in service, so you can take that comment and stick it where it belongs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trololololol;) Yeah, and I've been catching a lot of them these past few weeks. I got off the S44 about 20 minutes ago, and behind it was an S59 and another S44. Of course, I wasn't happy about the bunching, but :tup: to the fact that they were all O5s. :cool: I had surgery recently, and it seems that as soon as I recovered and got back to taking buses, they've all been O5s.

Also, the buses out here are the same as the Orions on SI, only they have CNG tanks mounted on top and I think they look quite nice with the CNG tanks on. Too bad tall people can't fit in those oh so dreadful Prevost seats, and the will have those rolling in until that next 300-of-the-same-fiiing-bus order comes in... in 2014-2016 or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn are stuck with those cheap Prevosts. We in Riverdale will have my favorite MCIs for years to come... They're nice and clean. Yonkers does a decent job, but then again we in Riverdale believe in keeping a clean community, which passes on to our express buses. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted February 18, 2012 Share #825 Posted February 18, 2012 Finally got to see those NF Xds and rode an O7 3g. I saw a bunch of them on the B6 and some on the B36 today. Also saw 5112 with the orange LED signs. Looks great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
