Interesting RTS #8526 and A question

[UlmerPark B6 0]

SInce i was coming home from stupid summer day camp tutoring, i got to go on #8526 on the B6. this is what i found.

wow, black front. don't see that on any other TMCs.

what the hell, a black on top white on bottom

can anybody explain this why the bus is so different from other TMC RTS?

i think I've seen a black front on an 83xx TMC repowered on Bus.

Yeah, Ive seen a couple like that. Looks like 8526 is next on the whiteback list too!

A lot of TMCs are being repainted black in front with white numbers. Probably because of a surplus of white numbers lately due to repaints/black backs. I wish the old Orion Vs got it too but a lot of them are too much of a maintenance nightmare to be dealt with extensively I suppose.

I remember 8511 had similar treatment inside. Where's the 5 in 8526? 8 26! NICE JOB!!!

I know for a fact that 8006 8213 8219 8222 and 8227 are like this inside as well.

8217 & 8220 some of MJQs 8600s are like that as well.

8433 (FLA) also has one. When FLA had the B47, I saw it on that bus.

also 8468, 8486 (FLA) have it also.

Its not quite a few buses. I know I've seen it on Quill buses as TJ Trainman pointed out.

[T J Trainman 809]

If I remember correctly I think MHVs 8452 has the black interior with the white #s.

[Q25toJamaica 9]

8246 has a black front I think.

[East New York 4,104]

A few of Flatbush's 9600's have the treatment too.

Nice pics, I seen other buses painted like that too, 4900, 7700 (before getting striped again), 5726, 194, etc...

8215 is like this.
