Cait Sith Posted January 19, 2014 Share #10776 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) They must be doing something. Does not take a year to change an engine. Must be preparing for the next order. Besides arent MTAs big orders always based off the test order? It hasn't been a full year. It would make 0 sense to use a 2011-built bus as a 2013-2014 demonstration bus because they would have to test the buses with the newest and updated specs. Nope, only just recently. MOST orders are based off of the demos that come straight from the factory, hence why we had an LFSA demo before the 5000s came in, the MCI demo in 2011 and the apparent x3-45 demo that was shot in Brooklyn. After the factory-spec'd buses were tested, if they win the order, thats when the specs are being made for them.

Or just hope the bus gets damaged (in a way that no passenger does). That'll send it straight to ECH. I'm surprised it hasn't spontaneously combusted being that it's now in service for more than it's recommended lifespan. Also, get this, they painted #9825 just recently so that it could go to scrap.

Also wondering if there's any 2nd gen Xcelsior model around the corner. The current one is...shitty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has nothing to do with pro-union or anti-union, it's pro-SEIU or anti-SEIU. This (purpleshirts blocking streets) shows once again that the SEIU is a radical organization who doesn't know the meaning of a peaceful protest. You want to sit there on the median of the road over there and make fools of yourselves as it is to get your word out fine, that's your 1st Amendment right (though the Port Authority has constantly shown no respect for the 1st Amendment but that's another story), but you can't block people from getting where they want to go and infringe on their right of free movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violent thugs? As in, they physically beat people? Since when? Anyways, blocking the road probably ain't the best way to go, but if my job got outsourced and benefits I paid into got stripped (quite literally robbery), I'd be pissed. As this is PA, not really surprising. When you got two massively anti-union governors in charge, that'll happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't matter how pissed you are. You can't restrict people's free movement like that period. Get back to me when you're tried of your employer undercutting you at every opportunity. So you're defending people who take to violence and restricting others' rights to get their word out? And beating people up who don't agree with them? Unions protesting is 1 thing. Taking it to the extreme is another. The SEIU takes it to the extreme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted January 21, 2014 Share #10799 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Orion, you are wrong and you sound stupid repeating this point. The union for hospital service employees (in this case, airline service employees) and nurses is not composed of "violent thugs" and has every right to be protesting as they see fit.
