Turbo19 Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7501 Posted June 23, 2013 very little, the other seats are better. I should've known. With the other seats there is at least space provided with that excess space in the ahead seat. These are just flat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah flat and a little bit longer than the other ones. I don't think these new ones would work out though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7505 Posted June 23, 2013 Something told me that those new seats were not roomy...I actually liked them on the new Palm Tran Gilligs. Not bad at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciboii22 Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7506 Posted June 23, 2013 I would hope they learn what's up and switch them out. Eventually they will, this one is a trail. If they like it then all of them will get the treatment. I don't really care because I ride in the very front seat on the right side of the bus behind the door or I ride in the back of the bus. Sucks for people who sit in them seats in between the back & front doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciboii22 Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7508 Posted June 23, 2013 I thought you said the whole bus had these seats Yes it does... But I sit in the front seat behind the door on the right side of the bus or in the back so it would suck for those who sit in those seats shown in the picture because it'll be tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo19 Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7509 Posted June 23, 2013 I thought you said the whole bus had these seats As on most buses with any model seats, the aisle facing seats and wheelchair areas seats will always be the most accommodation, especially for taller guys like you and I. Yes it does... But I sit in the front seat behind the door on the right side of the bus or in the back so it would suck for those who sit in those seats shown in the picture because it'll be tight. Yeah, plenty of room in that wheelchair row. My favorite seat area on the Xcelsiors for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew they were that loud without the LBSS Sure it isn't the HVAC on? For the most part I find them quiet. The only other explanation could be that the operator floored it out of there, but I doubt that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7512 Posted June 23, 2013 The last XD40 I rode also happened to be on the B1. I think it was 4876 or 4877. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i think it its because of no LBSS because those other XD40s are quiet but this Xcelsior sounded like a ZF RTS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32sdabest Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7516 Posted June 23, 2013 That's the HVAC for ya, it'll make buses sound louder from the outside. It does. I noticed it on the new C40LFs.

GojiMet86 Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7517 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I didn't realize until today that the Q69 was being detoured along 21st Avenue, the way of the dead QM22, from Wednesday until the end of today.

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7518 Posted June 23, 2013 Some 88xx RTS broke down on a detoured Q18. What are the odds lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted June 23, 2013 Share #7519 Posted June 23, 2013 I didn't realize until today that the Q69 was being detoured along 21st Avenue, the way of the dead QM22, from Wednesday until the end of today. That's another bus that needs to be restored... Astoria needs to make more noise for that line as it carried well considering how few trips it had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q43LTD Posted June 25, 2013 Share #7521 Posted June 25, 2013 Saw 2 artics on the Q10 today on my way to my daughter's school today. One of them still has a Kingsbridge sticker. I wonder when they'll put them on the Q6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
