Rick44 Posted December 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2012 I saw this bus on the B1 today, and I noticed that the VIA 86 ST text, read as "via 86 St". The font is different for sure. The side and back signs are the same as the rest of the buses. Unfortunately, I do not have a camera shot of this. If anybody can provide a picture and/or explain the change, it would be awesome and helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novabus 5000 Posted December 7, 2012 Share #3 Posted December 7, 2012 Naa it doesn't...youtube is the answer 4855 4854 same font for B74 STILLWELL AV That video of 4855 is not recent. The sign could have been changed recently for all we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciboii22 Posted December 7, 2012 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2012 This bus still has the same sign, I actually saw it 2 days ago & I saw it today the mechanics were driving it. Nothing different, unless it was just you maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted December 7, 2012 Nope. I'm certain the sign was different. There were lowercase letters in the sign, so distinct it made me look twice. Don't be suprised that something like that can change in two days. It was a sign that I have never seen before in this city. It reminded me of this LED font I have on my PC: http://www.dafont.com/citaro-voor-dubbele-hoogte-breed.font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted December 7, 2012 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2012 It may just be programmed differently, not necessarily a new sign all together. If you said that the side and back signs are the same, it's probably that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted December 7, 2012 If I see it, I'll get a pic next time. I hope to see it on the B1 tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted December 8, 2012 This is 4838, same thing I saw on 4855. The back and side are the same, and it seems that SevenEleven was right, it was reprogrammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemoreira81 Posted December 8, 2012 Share #9 Posted December 8, 2012 That's a reprogram---long overdue as I see it. 4868 has also been reprogrammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted December 8, 2012 Share #10 Posted December 8, 2012 They've been reprogramming a lot of them, the Prevosts are getting it as well, no more of that scrolling text at the back (now it just says EXP) and no more of full-width EXPRESS at the front.

ciboii22 Posted December 8, 2012 Share #11 Posted December 8, 2012 They're making the texts bigger that's all. It looks good this way though I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share #12 Posted December 9, 2012 Seems like their making it more compact, and I do like it. The big 86 in "VIA 86 ST" was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
