8052 - Version 2

I wonder when they're gonna get to the 2011 XD40s and 2011 Orion VII diesels. 

Version 4 is out of the loop now? 

Kinda wish the XD40s and XD60s received Version 4 because they could've put the small screen behind the driver, and had one big screen in the middle (window in front of the rear door) facing the back. 

Version 2 is doing well on the C40LFs and LFS/LFSAs.

Version 3 should've never even been an option lmaoo.

There’s a really annoying glitch on the version 3 Clever units that somehow no one has caught yet even though the M15 SBS has been all XD60 for like two weeks now.

If you put up the M15 SBS to Houston Street code, the announcements on the outside of the bus and the screens inside the bus say that it’s going to South Ferry. Just saw it on 6216.

Why can’t every bus just use Version 2? I’m not sure how that really works and who decides which screens go on which buses but Version 2 is the most easiest to understand (at least for myself).

It may be similar reason as to why they also have different destination signs on the buses.

@MysteriousBtrain @XcelsiorBoii4888 I’ve noticed how 7256 is on the list for Version 3....

This unit is NOT yet equipped with screens yet. I’m not sure who reported that bus (it could have been me, idk) but as of today this unit doesn’t have any on-board screens.

Thanks for the update. @Jdog14 posted it April 8th replying to my comment , so he got the numbers mixed up.

Did anyone  mention that #4520 from FP has the screens but it wasn't on when I was on it earlier while operating  on the my home route B20 either it dosent work or it just wasn't on but it did have the announcements  and transfers  which was pretty  cool ngl.

That happens sometimes; One day the screen is working, then another day it’s all black.

Also, 368 has Version 2 screens.
