XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted March 24, 2019 Share #226 Posted March 24, 2019 So looks like all C40s are getting Version 2. I wonder when they're gonna install screens on the 2015 XD40s. Do yall think the Orion VIIs Diesels are gonna get the screens? Those are 2011 models too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably will once they get some more C40s done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted March 26, 2019 Share #230 Posted March 26, 2019 @East New York Whats up man. Can this thread get pinned? I feel that we should have an official roster on the first page for buses with the screens and the scren types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not really a priority because those buses are on their way out soon so they will get to them during the maintenance rotation. 1 hour ago, XcelsiorBoii4888 said: @East New York Whats up man.

To answer your other question, everything 2010 and newer is supposed to get the screens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this would be the first XD40 with version 3. Same placement back to back, but there's an unnecessarily big gap between the two like the front sign on an XN40 because of that stupid metal bar in the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucey Posted April 10, 2019 Share #241 Posted April 10, 2019 Seeing these on LFS’s, they’re not visible from the back because the second screen is so close to the first. And I get that the second couldn’t go over the rear-most Stop Requested light because of the AC vents...but a LED bar at the rear door - like BeeLine buses - would’ve been more useful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not because of the AC vents because that's the location of the screens on the newer LFS buses coming in. It's because of the stupid stop requested light in the rear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems too delayed to be for local use. If the contract is split, would've been nice to give V2 to buses that are gonna be used strictly for SBS. Such as the XN60s, the new LFSAs, ENYs XD40s and the next order of XD60s for SBS use. Local buses should've received Version 4 because it responds quicker for stops that have a shorter distance. Honestly they should've gone with Version 4 all along because it would've been perfect for all bus models. For the XD40s, you could've position them like the C40LFs, for XD60s/XN60s you can position the first small screen right behind the driver, the second right after the middle door on the ceiling, and the third right before the middle door on the ceiling. For the LFS would've had two wide screens positioned just how they are now. Just my two cents, I feel like nothing gets thought through with the MTA. Just do and keep it moving. Who decides on the types of screens and the placement of the screens in the buses? Is it one person or a group of people? That's a good way to sum it up. Kinda like moving fast and breaking things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted April 18, 2019 Share #250 Posted April 18, 2019 Not sure if this was mentioned, but when an Orion pops up on the M79/86 SBS, the announcements tend to go haywire, saying "UNDERSCORE UNDERSCORE 2 UNDERSCORE". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
