LRG Posted July 14, 2011 Share #26 Posted July 14, 2011 A NABI is a LF bus. Something you despise so much I can't believe I'm sticking up for FG, but he does like the LFS'. As for me, I'll take a city with nothing but Orion 5s and LFS'...a perfect sync of high floor buses and low-floor buses. For the Staten Island and Brooklyn (NYCT) express lines, OTR buses. All the others get suburban Orion 5s or LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #28 Posted July 14, 2011 I would have high-floor buses on all high-ridership routes. People simply don't move to the back when the bus gets crowded. :mad: The low-ridership buses can have the newer buses. I can't believe that there are times when they put the LFS buses on some routes that get crushloaded at times, like the S46 and S48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that there are times when they put the LFS buses on some routes that get crushloaded at times, like the S46 and S48. Another problem I have with LFS buses is that the doors close to slow, which means that it isn't fit for routes like the S46 and S48 (the S48 especially) that have a lot of traffic lights, as it often causes the buses to miss the light.

MattTrain Posted July 15, 2011 Share #36 Posted July 15, 2011 My dream MTA Bus roster would have NovaBus LFS (both articulated and standard length buses) and C40 Low Floors like the one College Point has. Orion 7 both OG and NGs are okay too. That's all I'll say about that. MCI D4500 CTs and Prevost X3-45s too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
