I like the original artics better than those low floor craps any day. Better get used to the idea of LF artics(Nova,Citaro...etc), since that's the only kind of buses being made today. The days of HF are over.......sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted February 27, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 27, 2009 Wait this can't be, the NovaBus artic is suppose to conduct a 30-day test on SBS Bx12, like the news article said. Weird.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacsnyy Posted February 27, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2009 I can't confirm, but I assume they're testing it on the B44, to keep with the trend of future SBS routes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted February 27, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 27, 2009 I can't confirm, but I assume they're testing it on the B44, to keep with the trend of future SBS routes That is true... then, in that case, it seems like there is a chance that this bus is going to Staten Island. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacsnyy Posted February 27, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 27, 2009 Isn't the S79 scheduled for SBS too? Would that be the Staten Island route? I guess after a few weeks at Flatbush, it'd go to Yukon then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonOfAllBuses Posted February 28, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 28, 2009 I honestly cant wait till we...ur... gets the NovaBUS LFSA! If they are using the bus for BRT or SBS or what ever its called, then they should have gone with the LFX model. The fact that the LFSA has 3 doors will speed up the load/unload precess. This is ONE thing I like about the . Now all those plane janes need to do is put some black around the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemoreira81 Posted February 28, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 28, 2009 I'm actually surprised to hear that the bus is making a tour of the city now. The B44 though is going to be murder in trying to find it, especially on weekends. BTW, a nitpick: The bus was built in December 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think since they decided to keep it they want to show it off a lil to get people used to seeing them and riding them. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been stressing that since this board was started and so have others. I know someone was reading this and other boards, and decided it would be the best option. I highly doubt this was an original idea of theirs. Extra 20ft, why not an extra door??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micstromme Posted February 28, 2009 Share #16 Posted February 28, 2009 If I need to get from point-A to point-B I'll get on whatever bus that comes ... Good point. Besides, if these buses come for the B44, which is a route that I do not encounter, then perhaps some of Flatbush's NGs will be moving over to Ulmer or Gleason, since they are training at the moment.

UlmerPark B6 Posted February 28, 2009 Share #17 Posted February 28, 2009 Well, an B/O on SubChat has shot sdown this rumor, saying that it is still at Gun Hill. http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=139176 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacsnyy Posted February 28, 2009 Share #18 Posted February 28, 2009 If Flatbush can not handle Artics (in reference to the subchat link), does that mean when the B44 starts SBS, it'll be moved out of Flatbush to another depot that can handle Artics? Maybe the B44 and B47 switch depots or something? What Brooklyn depots can handle Artics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOB2RTO Posted March 1, 2009 Share #19 Posted March 1, 2009 2 artics do the work of 3 40ft buses. If they want to get them in Flatbush, they will use the space for 3 40fters, for 2 artics. It is just that simple, but still some complications will exist. Nothing is done easy in TA........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knice1187 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share #20 Posted March 1, 2009 Well, an B/O on SubChat has shot sdown this rumor, saying that it is still at Gun Hill. http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=139176 I think yall misunderstood me. I said the bus was at the depot on 2/26/09. It wasn't there for B/O training or anything it was parked in the garage around 5 pm which would mean that it was not at gunhill at that time. I guess mta was just trying to see if flatbush depot would be able to maintain the low floor artics which I think they will be able to cause it looks like the same height of the hybrids. The only thing they have to worry about is the length or the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing they have to worry about is the length or the bus. Well, to add, the New Flyer artic is about a 35-25 or a 33-27 split...the LFS appears closer to being a 38-24 split. The front wheelbase is the same as that of an LFS rigid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
