I tried to catch one on 14th when they first came out, but it would never come. They don't run them on the M14 anymore. I heard it's because they would die mid route, but I don't know exactly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it's because they would die mid route, but I don't know exactly. They still do actually, just not as often. Two have been on the M14A this week and last week in the early afternoon. 4959 & 4963 have been on 14th Street for the most part. Six of the twelve buses are at the vendor for various reasons, with three marked OOS, so that makes nine buses that aren't running.

The XE should have test In all Boroughs under normal conditions if you intended to run it anywhere in NYCT. It’s not rocket science and you are most likely right, but if you know this board they will call Shit Water Hennessy 🤷🏾♂️ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were supposed to get more diesels until he wanted the MTA to order more hybrids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted June 1, 2020 Share #4657 Posted June 1, 2020 I think NYMTA is the first ever TA to operate the XE60, so that adds more teething issues as those XE60s at Quill are the first of their kind to run out in the real world. I think the NYMTA would have been the first to operate the restyled MCI as well, I was worried about that if MCI won the express bus order, but Prevost ended up winning the order so it's moot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That re-styled MCI is straight bascura. CT's are the best models. Has any other transit agency ordered the new MCI's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked CPTDB a couple months ago and think only NYMTA was listed, couldn't find pics of XE60s in other properties back then as well, only was pics of the demo bus. Both are updated now though. I must have overlooked or missed that MBTA was the first to have them. *Facepalm* EDIT: LACMTA had XE60s since July of last year!? I have been living under a rock for bus happenings smh lol.

And it will be the first order of X-345 commuter buses with the new redesign, ever built. Edited June 17, 2020 by RSMG106 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This livery is just too busy for an express commuter imo. Plus it looks like a wrap again, which is always worse. Funny seeing a Prevost without a split front destination though, as RSMG106 was saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only part that looks weird is the yellow/light blue stripes going up towards the roof in the front, it cuts at the window line, and the finish cannot be seen because the window design goes up to the roof. I thought they would've customized that part, and probably do something similar to the Hudson Link design where those two colors would wrap back down, but other than that; these colors are everything! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
