NYCtrainfan01 Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5351 Posted February 18, 2013 Yes, the demo NABI 65-BRT. Did you ever see it in person? Just saw some photos of it... It looks pretty good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5352 Posted February 18, 2013 Did you ever see it in person? Just saw some photos of it... It looks pretty good! Yes, I rode it in person. The rear section is the same as a 60-BRT, but the front section was extended. Basically it was a 40/25 combo. Nice ride and to my knowledge it's still in service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreeddekalbL Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5353 Posted February 18, 2013 now that i look at the Q38 route map and the its depot my questions are why.. is it based at college point it seems its in LGA(triboro) territory? why it's routing a big U shape and then some when the two terminals are like about 5 blocks away from each other? and for some reason i remember it terminating somewhere else or am i wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5354 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) The Q38 was part of LGA/Triboro before 2010. Edited February 18, 2013 by GojiMet86 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually based at LaGuardia originally and kept being shifted between CP & LGA for a while. But to answer your question, it was originally a Triboro route. As to the origin of the Q38, it was originally two routes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5360 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Finally, I got some pics of the xd40 on the b82. The other times I see it on the b82 the bus just turned the corner and I miss my chance.

Vistausss Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5361 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) There are no Van Hool AGG300's in service within North America. Exactly there isn't because in many locations these vehicles can not legally be operated. So they are illegaly sold in the USA by ABC Industries then? http://www.abc-companies.com/models/AGG300.asp Let's roll up that mafia ABC company then. Plus Hawaii has a few AGG300's and last time I checked Hawaii was one of the 50 US states. Edited February 18, 2013 by Vistausss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Hawaii has a few AGG300's and last time I checked Hawaii was one of the 50 US states. Well for the most part yes, because nearly every state in the United States of America has restrictions in regard to vehicle length. I can't speak in regards to Canada, so perhaps laws are more leinient. Realy? There's AGG300's in service in the state of Hawaii? Which transit agency? I know none of the major agencies don't have any. Honolulu (The Bus) doesn't have any, Hilo doesn't have any, Lahania (Maui Bus) doesn't have any. It would come as no suprise the smaller agencies don't have any either. Lihue (Kuha'i bus) doesn't have any, Miliani doesn't have any, and Wailuku doesn't have any. Unless you can prove me different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5363 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I'll look up where I found that Hawaiian transit agency it was. But ABC says "Exclusive US Van Hool Distributor" and they are based in Minnesota since the 1950s so I guess they're an illegal company now that they sell the AGG300 which isn't allowed according to your statement. Canada also has Van Hool AGG300s... well, at least VIVA Bus has a few in conjunction to their mostly AG300 fleet. Btw, AC Transit in California also has one or a few AGG300s.

Turbo19 Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5364 Posted February 18, 2013 VIVA in the York Region of Ontario operates AG300's which are 60 feet long. They have 80 foot buses. Same for AC Transit. I won't continue any further, it's just no use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistausss Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5365 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Like I said: VIVA has mostly AG300 but they do have a AGG300. Not sure if it's in revenue service though. And if AC Transit doesn't have at least one AGG300 then why did people on Subchat from that *area* said so? Btw, while looking for the AGG300 in the USA I came across this pic of an AG300 in NYC. Awesome! Edited February 18, 2013 by Vistausss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistausss Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5368 Posted February 18, 2013 Actually, that was a demo bus in 2008 so I'm not sure if the is gonna buy Van Hools 5 years after they had a demo bus... But I do hope they get at least a few Van Hools because Van Hools are really beautiful and they drive so smooth and fast (I ride them multiple times a year as a passenger in here in The Netherlands in Utrecht). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5369 Posted February 18, 2013 I just thought about it...aren't there double artics in JFK airport? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5370 Posted February 18, 2013 I just thought about it...aren't there double artics in JFK airport? The Port Authority uses Orion VIIs in the parking lots and cargo areas, but there's a number of buses operated by/for airlines both before and after security so I don't know. Don't recall any kind of artics being around there. I think Terminal 4 and a few airlines there have the "cobus" which is like a transit bus that can hold about 100 people made for airport use. Those are for terminal shuttles past security and emergency rescues from planes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted February 18, 2013 Share #5372 Posted February 18, 2013 JFK and LGA have Orion VII HLFs, and I've seen an Orion V and an RTS at JFK. At LGA: At JFK: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted February 19, 2013 Share #5373 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Yeah the Orion Vs and RTS are operated by Golden Touch Transportation and maybe some others for the airlines, usually employee shuttles where the PA O7s serve the parking lots and cargo roads.

Culver Posted February 19, 2013 Share #5374 Posted February 19, 2013 WHATT!! Dammm ohh PLEASEE let this order be for VanHool! Damm this is hot! So they can fall apart after one year of service in NYC? Do any of the depots wanna work with that tight mid-engine placement and lopsided axles? And the seating capacity is below what NFI and Nova buses give. But then again, MTS can't even build one working bus, so why not. It's only 90 buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: This order for 90 test buses, is it 90 40ft buses or 90 artic. buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
