Nice catch. Similar to what NICE has now but we will see how it performs on the streets of Crooklyn. Since it's the first time that JG is seeing artics on their roster. My questions is are drivers are qualified to drive artics as opposed to standards? 2 hours ago, Around the Horn said: Edited October 15, 2017 by FLX9304 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think all of them are. 6110 was at Gleason for a while doing route & operator training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted October 16, 2017 Share #1579 Posted October 16, 2017 They've been having Grand XD60's shadow the B43 occasionally, so maybe they are training more drivers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA Bus Posted November 3, 2017 Share #1582 Posted November 3, 2017 Does anyone know what's going on with 5439? Last update I saw, it was in Long Island with the new scheme. I thought that it would have been in service by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be useless after the "L train" shuttle is over & done with. Plus these guys would have been past their prime once that move was made, even if the entire 200 buses was used up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 00XX series is normally used for lease/demo buses, which si what these XE40s and Proterras are, hence the renumber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA made a couple spec changes and the last time I checked the wrap wasn't perfected yet. Even though the first bus has not gone into service, MTA has already awarded Nova an option for an additional 72 production buses. New fleet number update: Base 5439-5530 2018 delivery, pilots due any day now. Options 5531-5766 delivery completion 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like 5439 was out on the streets and then disappeared so fast. I'm not sure how they even had a chance to test that bus out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that order is severely plagued with delays. However, good to know that the order is still moving on plus a next set of buses to come in 2019. I hope extra buses are coming with the base 92 bus order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
