Takuma Ishizeki Posted March 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2009 When I was on my way back home from restaurant with my parents on Saturday, March 7, 2009, I have detected something unusual. When I got off M15 Bus at 2nd Av and E 34th St, I saw an Orion 07.501 NG HEV Bus numbered 3813 on M34, and... WHAT:eek:?!? I heard an automated exterior announcement announcing the route and destination (I think it announced "Route M34, East Side, United Nations - 1st Av, Crosstown", I do not remember the exact announcement) as the front door opened!!!:tdown: I also detected some sort of LED Yellow(ish) Interior Sign inside. I have not and never rode it (before), so anyone who rode this bus, do you know anything about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted March 9, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 9, 2009 All buses have exterior annoucemnents but most B/Os don't use it. The 3813 and 3817, is in MAnhattan, not a suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuma Ishizeki Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted March 9, 2009 !!! This will be a correction. M34 is to East Side FDR Drive Crosstown, NOT East Side UN-1st Av Crosstown (that is M42). Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuma Ishizeki Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted March 9, 2009 Yes, I know that they have exterior announcements:), but that is via CleverDevices SpeakEasy or SpeakEasy 2 system (which is a manual announcement):cool:. I am looking for automated one, which is NOT via that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Posted March 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 9, 2009 3813's announcement system is fully automated inside and out. I've experienced its use and is WAY better than the system tested at 126th Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
