NewFlyer 230 Posted July 26, 2013 Share #8151 Posted July 26, 2013 http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=279876 It's official, we're about to have a lot of Orion 7 Diesels. I wish they would sound like the Orion 3G's. Now there will be no more hybrids at MTA Bus but at least this allows bus swapping to be easier between all MTA bus depots including CP, SC and ECH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted July 26, 2013 Share #8153 Posted July 26, 2013 So a summary of today: 640 and 641 were on the Q18 today. I saw a CNG on Astoria Blvd but I don't know where it went. 8131, the Hospital Audience, Inc (HAI) RTS was at Citi Field. Got some pictures of it. And an NYPD Orion V Suburban numbered 9831 was at CS for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted July 26, 2013 Share #8154 Posted July 26, 2013 If anyone is interested, HAI RTS is at CITI FieldField, and the NYPD Orion V Suburban is at CS. EDIT: The RTS is probably gonna leave soon. Saw one today going down New Lots (I think it was 0091), and there was an old C40 on the B35 There's an RTS in QV that screeched when it took off. A little similar to the original 1000s D60 I know I think it's pre 2000 buses because the old c40lf in Gleason used to do that... and there's one Yukon Orion V that does it Its just the fan belt screeching... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTS's don't have fan belts. The only buses in the system with fan belts are the MCI's. When you hear an RTS, a D60, or even (lately) an LFSA screech like that on the take off, its most likely the A/C compressor belt. Its either the belt is worn, or the tensioner for the mounting bracket is not tight enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog14 Posted July 26, 2013 Share #8157 Posted July 26, 2013 What is LBSS and what is it suppose to do? Load Based Shift Scheduling. It's a gear shifting program available on Gen IV Allison transmissions. When the bus is empty/on a flat gradient the bus will be in fuel economy mode. As the load/gradient (uphill) increases, the bus will go into performance mode to give the bus the required performance. This optimizes fuel economy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted July 26, 2013 Share #8160 Posted July 26, 2013 4722 is on the Bx41 SBS. That didn't take long, did it? The Xcelsior Artics have been popping up on the Bx41 +SBS since early July so you're kind of late. Besides, the Bx12+SBS uses them (Gun Hill's batch) so it wouldn't be a surprise if Kingsbridge put their own Xcelsior Artics on the Bx41 +SBS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R188 7857 Posted July 27, 2013 Share #8170 Posted July 27, 2013 Don't know who to blame in this situation. Today at Flushing, a poland spring truck was unloading behind the Q12 bus stop infront of new world mall. There was still enough room for the bus to fit in the bus stop, but the bus driver stopped in the middle of the road. Traffic was clogged on Roosevelt ave for some time as the passengers walked to the middle of the road to board. It was possible to go into the bus stop, but the driver just stopped in the middle of the road to block off all traffic. Who is to blame? the bus or the truck? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is to blame? the bus or the truck? the truck number one because your not suppose to stand at the bus stop... at the same time... the b/o should of pulled into the stop if there was enough room, but maybe laziness kicked into place forcing him to just stop in the middle making his excuse be the truck in the bus stop 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted July 27, 2013 Share #8173 Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) 2011 bro, that's old news! They weren't even Middle Eastern; Italian, I think. Anyway, they take photography pretty seriously at the depot itself but on the street you're pretty much fine.

Ha, no kidding. It seems like every time I ride the Bx12 SBS lately I'm on an Xcelsior instead of an LFSA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
