I don't recall if that unit had those LED Headlights when it was at Grand. I do know 4562 has had them for a few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I high doubt that, I assumed that maybe that driver did the Q70 with 6274 first, and instead of going the swing at the depot, he/she kept the bus and stayed at Woodside until their second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted April 20, 2020 Share #30405 Posted April 20, 2020 Ya'll gotta chill, the Q70 didn't even go artic officially, so any artic can run on the Q53 or Q70(if needed). Not a big deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted April 21, 2020 Share #30407 Posted April 21, 2020 I feel like all they needed to do was wrap these artics in the regular select bus service wrap and call it a day. That way they can always rotate between the Q53 and Q70 even though they may still occasionally do that from time to time. I guess they really want to have the buses stand out to tourist which I do get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted April 21, 2020 Share #30409 Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) That picture & this discussion would support someone's harebrained idea to combine the Q53 & the Q70 Edited April 21, 2020 by B35 via Church 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The special wrap for Q70 is seriously a waste of time and money, just give it the SBS wrap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they Frankenstein'd two XD40 wraps and called it a day. On the bright side, we technically have a new XD60 with the old paint scheme now lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So SIM25... 7 is for staten island express buses. The second and third digit is the route 7,25,and the last is the destination, it can be anything from 0-9, depending on many readings it has and if the route number was used before. So SIM25 is definitely 725x...I'm not sure what the last digit is, maybe 0 and 1 for each direction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 24, 2020 Share #30425 Posted April 24, 2020 Idk if it's growing on me, or if the XD60s just make this scheme look so good? Only thing thats irking me is the fact that the scheme is streamlined, looks very choppy. There's no natural blend in the colors. I'm also not a fan of the blue over the yellow in the rear of the bus, as well as the the blue stripe in the front of the bus. But the light blue, dark blue, the clouds, airplanes, and all the branding all looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
