BZGuy Posted April 26, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 26, 2011 Great catch Cait! Somebody found they "ghost" MCI.....that thing is HOT! If the MTA does order more 4500CTs, I hope they spring for the appearance package like the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the MTA does order more 4500CTs, I hope they spring for the appearance package like the demo. Hell yeah, I agree. If they did get the appearance package, that would be the best thing. If the MCIs came with white LEDs(which it wont happen).....I'd be finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted April 26, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 26, 2011 Top Shelf goods right there! :cool: Great catch Cait! Somebody found they "ghost" MCI.....that thing is HOT! If the MTA does order more 4500CTs, I hope they spring for the appearance package like the demo. That would be waaaaay to good to be true! But then again, the way things are going these days.......

ciboii22 Posted April 26, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 26, 2011 Damn i really hate you ! lol , this bus is out of spring creek depot its a Mci D4500ct with a cummings isx 11.9 liter , 425hp with a allison B500 tranny . Since they dont make caterpillar C-13 transmissions anymore they will use a cummings isx , when the prevost are distributed i will not like them , those arent made for transporting customers back and forth , those are road trip buses . Transit should go back to mci , IMO mci makes the best buses . I would really like more buses with a Caterpillar C-13 transmission but unfourtuantley they dont have them anymore .

I would really like more buses with a Caterpillar C-13 transmission but unfourtuantley they dont have them anymore . you know that the caterpillar c-13 is an engine, not a transmission right? and MCI's weren't intended for use as a mass transit bus. No OTR coach is intentionally made for that purpose, but TA makes it work. just like they are going to do with the X3-45's that are coming from prevost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not stick to that conclusion, as of late, the bus has been going from depot to depot. I'm gonna figure this out later Oh, and FYI, the Caterpillar C-13s are ENGINES, not TRANSMISSIONS!

SevenEleven Posted April 26, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 26, 2011 I think that might be a D4505 model over a D4500CT Nah, that's a D4500CT face. The D4505 model is like this: Nice catch Shane. That's probably the reason why it got all foggy yesterday, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears as if it will be making it's rounds as the TA is actively in talks with MCI. My Bad , I just found out that mta was testing this bus , yes im very late . When the prevost come i dont think i will like them , well i might . Ive never ridden on a prevost before . The demo for that is supposed to come in june right? I actually like it! I got a chance to check out the demo that ran out of CAS and YON a few years back. It has a Volvo D13 engine that's pretty smooth. I like MCI's as well, but I also like the Prevost. I've been on a few of them, and they seem to be a cut above the MCI's. Either way, don't fret. We will definitely be getting more new MCI's soon enough!

B) Our Prevosts are going to look gorgeous, so as long as the MTA takes care of them. As for MCI, I knew we couldn't stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusOperator3319 Posted April 28, 2011 Share #20 Posted April 28, 2011 Cait it is at Spring Creek I was on the BM5 and it was going back to the Depot although when I was waiting for the BM5 in Manhattan it turned on to 34th street with no passengers kind of odd so i guess its a testing phase but not in passenger service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
