DaTransitMan4608 Posted May 4, 2013 Share #152 Posted May 4, 2013 I wonder if some of those DesignLines are gonna have the big NJT logo on the front. instead of the small one. NJT seems to leave some buses out when putting ads on the front. I've noticed that a bit lately with the D4000s and D4500s. Some CL's have it too. Maybe they'll make the bottom streamlined too. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted May 4, 2013 Share #153 Posted May 4, 2013 Photo proof from a friend of mine I think that might've been the bus I saw the other day on 9. What time was it up there? I caught it in Manalapan around 6-6:15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transitfan007 Posted May 7, 2013 Share #155 Posted May 7, 2013 From looking at the picture, I have a better understanding as to why the steers have to be straight so the door can open. IMO bad design, should be rectified! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share #157 Posted May 10, 2013 7205 is going down the Turnpike NIS, just saw it in Secaucus. Tried getting a pic but was too late. It returned as a 130. I barely shot it when it was signed as a shuttle. Sent from the Sixth Circle of Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share #161 Posted May 11, 2013 5:30ish What, really? I didn't even see that one come down! Though then again, there was an assload of traffic coming into Manhattan as usual..... Photo of 7205 from moi. It was rushed since I had just left a work/job spot at 44th Street and I saw it turn at 36th/37th Street or so. I have an idea as to the times they come in and out. I should be able to confirm it hopefully on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share #169 Posted May 14, 2013 I will say, I actually heard the takeoff on it. The BOV is pretty loud and it's very C40LF characteristic(obviously because its an ISL-G). It also makes that screeching noise when the brake is hit a lil too hard. 7205 before it started service on the 136. I hear more are coming in the coming days.

Orion VII 4 Life Posted May 17, 2013 Share #172 Posted May 17, 2013 7205 going down 9 in Old Bridge, looks like it heads up a little to early for me since it was coming back NIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thephantom Posted May 27, 2013 Share #175 Posted May 27, 2013 Im on the 139 line and rode both 7202 and 7205. Although this is my opinion only, I was not impressed with what I saw. Pluses Air conditioning is much improved. The blowers are positioned on the top of the Windows and the air circulation is much stronger. Windows are larger. Negatives: Arrangement of the Lighting: The lighting is not recessed as they are on the MCI's. They are on the edge of the package racks directly over isle and passenger seating. The lights are way to bright and absolutely blinding. Seating: Although the seats do have a reclining button, they recline only about one inch. The seats are not made out of Fabric as they are on the MCI's, but made out of vinyl, This gives the interior layout of the bus a very dated 1980's look. Package Compartment Underneath Bus: None General Bus Mechanics: Overall the ride was very bumpy. I'm not sure if it was the driver or not, but the pickup on the bus seemed slowwer then the MCI's. Overall, I was not impressed. 5/10. It's to bad that MCI overbid on this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
