Engr08 Posted April 29, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2013 I don't know if this topic was brought up before but did anyone notice the large route numbers on these bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted April 29, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 29, 2013 They've always been huge: What they're doing now is reprogramming the signs so that the numbers in the 'via' portion of the sign are normal... The route numbers are still the same size for the most part: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr4567 Posted April 29, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 29, 2013 They need to stick with Luminator, that's what they need to do (correct me if I'm wrong about those signs not being Luminator signs). At least these are readable unlike those on the 40' LFS buses. Fecking microscopic borough letters. s89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted April 30, 2013 Share #5 Posted April 30, 2013 They look no different the Q is still small on the LFS signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted April 30, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 30, 2013 They look no different the Q is still small on the LFS signs. Not all the buses are reflashed yet. Only the ones that display the 'via' wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted April 30, 2013 Share #7 Posted April 30, 2013 The LFS signs look the worst to me, even with the new programs. Also, look at the last XD40 pic that 7/11 posted and notice that the "B" fills up the height of the sign and is as tall as the numbers in Bx10. Depends on what you consider "normal" because what I consider "normal" is whats on all the other buses (Orions, etc.) where the lettering is only a bit smaller than the numbering.

Guest MTA Bus Posted April 30, 2013 Share #8 Posted April 30, 2013 I've always liked the destination sign on the Xcelsiors. It's not like the other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted April 30, 2013 Share #9 Posted April 30, 2013 Ever notice how it (the front sign) tries to squeeze everything on one line? For example, (well 2 examples i noticed)... CANARSIE E 80 ST would be... CANARSIE E 80 ST ...and even BAY RIDGE 4 AV Would be... BAY RIDGE 4 AV ...even with subway shuttles, seems kinda tacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twilson1160 Posted April 30, 2013 Share #11 Posted April 30, 2013 Look at the back of the sign of 4722 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted April 30, 2013 Share #12 Posted April 30, 2013 I like the Orion VII and LFSA signs I hope when the LFS's get theirs signs changed because some of them still have the signs where some of the sign is missing. Ex- Q27 Main St Station instead of Flushing- Main St Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex- Q27 Main St Station instead of Flushing- Main St Station. The LFS has a different sign compared to other buses (excluding the Prevost which uses the same Axiom sign). Alkyl they have to do is reprogram it and it'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 30, 2013 Share #14 Posted April 30, 2013 The funny thing is...if you look at the sign of an LFS on the B36...to an LFSA on the B44...the LFSA sign is normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it anywhere, so I'm guessing the sign was put on those a buses by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea well, in that case, for not choosing Luminator, the can go to hell. Yeah, I know variation is good in a fleet, but for some reason, I don't like change.

To me, the Axions with the original progam look nice as hell. The fact that they're mounted on the LFS make them look that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
