SevenEleven Posted October 10, 2018 Share #26 Posted October 10, 2018 The screens I'm guessing has to be clear of the vents and the vent closer to the back doors isn't there on 8504 from what I seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question, why are they installing the two screens so close together on the 8000 Nova LFSs? Its like the first screen is over the white line in front, and the second screen is in the middle of the wheelchair seats, they couldn't put that second screen over the front part of the rear door? Similar to 8504? Here's 8207 for reference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, see the second screen on 8207 is so close, I don't even think it reaches the middle of the bus. Here's 8504, notice the second screen is over the rear door area, more further back.

I took a closer look. 8504 has both vents for the HVAC, only difference is that it doesn't have the Stop Request sign in the back, so it was able to be mounted there, compared to the older units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh that makes sense, thanks. That sucks, that second stop request sign was pointless anyways. I just hope that second screen is visible enough from the last row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted October 13, 2018 Share #32 Posted October 13, 2018 That second screen is roughly where the back to back screens are on an Xcelsior... Should be visible from the back row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share #34 Posted October 14, 2018 If possible double check some of these buses as some do not have screens on board. That said...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted October 17, 2018 Share #36 Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I'm sorry but why isn't Version 4 the standard on all buses?? Those things are 10x better than anything else we have. I watched a couple YouTube videos, as soon as the bus passes the stop, it announces the next stop, unlike Version 2 that delays until about a block away. These screens also announce the transfers at each stop and has very good pronunciation, unlike the other ones that are too robotic, with wrong pronunciation. These screens also announce service alerts posted on the MTA website. I don't get it, they're literally perfect. If you ride the college point routes you're basically set, it's just unfortunate that the C40LFs don't have USB ports. Take a look: much better than the ones on most buses.

On top of that, I also prefer the layout of the Luminator screens on the C40LFs over the others (1 smaller screen next to the ADA flip-up seats and the widescreen towards the middle). It's just simple yet effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be shocked if its the same reason we have both LFS and XD/XDE/XE for fleet replacement rather than just sorely one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted October 19, 2018 Share #43 Posted October 19, 2018 Version 4 gets annoying very fast... the thing just will not shut up My personal favorite is Version 2; they just need to fix the stop triggers and program transfers and BusTime/SubwayTime integration like the Q44 pilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I like Version 2 as well, but it seems incomplete. I liked version 2 when it was testing on the M15 SBS. Just like you said if they can adjust when it makes the next stop announcement, and add in the transfers like the pilots did, then I'll stop complaining lol. The next stop announcement takes like a block to process, and if its a local route, everything would just start overlapping. It works better for limited and SBS routes because the stops are further apart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the first started using the screens on the S79 SBS buses (Early 2017), the started to play a little game of switch-a-roo. They put LFS's on the S79 and let the SBS NG's roam around the local routes to test the screens. When the announcements started playing on the S57, it would count school stops, meaning that it would be 1-2 stops behind when the bus got to the terminal. They never did anything to fix that and the route would always be a bit off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
