compobus fan Posted February 7, 2012 Share #26 Posted February 7, 2012 While we all know this bus will never see the MTA, Veolia should look at this after the next Orion order is done, since theoretically they are not married to them anymore. Let's see a NICE rendition of this good looking bus !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see a NICE rendition of this good looking bus !! I don't know.... Veolia and Orion are tight like glue you know. Not only that but introducing a new bus into the fleet would drive NICE's costs up significantly. I must say, this bus looks MUCH better than the model I saw at APTA this year!:tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure LACMTA livery would look good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure LACMTA livery would look good also. You are absolutely right about that though!I as well think they would look pretty good in LA livery. This has got to be the most interesting time in the world of buses that I can think of.... Even going through the history books, there has never been so many things going on at once as there are right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NABI should try to enter this model for submission into the BT&E program, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C40LFR Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share #31 Posted February 8, 2012 DAMN THAT 3G IS HOT!!!!! Looks like they changed the rear design after all...the rear looks more like a 416 now. Every bus manufacturer is really stepping up the aesthetic appeal of their buses. Now if only NovaBus would quit making such ugly buses.... I change my mind about the NABI takeover in So Cal. These need to hit LA streets NOW! If only Big Blue Bus would have just waited another year before they purchased their new 40-LFW's...:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do thought, that it, our RTSs and old Orion Vs go bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say however, the current LFW's just delivered, as well as the 60BRT look exceptionally good in the BBB livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think BBB's 2011 40-LFW's are 2.5G's. Notice how the main body is 3G, but the roof mounted cover, front, and rear look like 2G's.

compobus fan Posted February 21, 2012 Share #35 Posted February 21, 2012 Looks like they will get the chance to grab the the next LACMTA RFP, it looks almost like it is being written for NABI. http://www.metro.net/board/Items/2012/02_February/20120216OPItem43.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
