DanTheTransitMan Posted September 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2011 Out of the all the new buses that are going to be delivered to NYC which ones do you want to see the most? Me personally I want to see the NewFlyer XD60 "Xcelsior" articulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdog14 Posted September 1, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2011 The Nova LFSA's, the rest of the X3-45's, and the 2011 C40LF's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C40LFR Posted September 1, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 1, 2011 +1 for the XD60. This beautifully(I mean BEAUTIFULLY) designed bus in 60 foot form? I just gotta see it. I want to go to NYC just to see this bus.(NYC's MTA is the only transit agency I know that's getting 60 foot Xcelsiors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted September 1, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 1, 2011 My favorite faves are: NovaBus LFS (Reg Diesel) New Flyer XD40/60 Orion VII 3G (Somewhat I just hope they're better than our current Orion VII fleet) Millenium RTS Provost New Flyer C40LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted September 1, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 1, 2011 Don't forget the bus in the pic above is the XC60. The XD60 will not have the BRT styled roof, and will look like it's XD40 counterpart. This one is tough for me... I'm anticipating delivery of both the Orion VII 3G and XD60 the most. However, like the XD40, I just don't like the HVAC location or housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro CSW Posted September 1, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 1, 2011 I got my fingers crossed for the XDE40, mostly and also: -XD60s -Orion VII 3G (Diesels & CNGs) -NovaBus LFSAs -XD40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted September 1, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 1, 2011 All I wanna see is the XD40's and the X3-45's, I'm not looking forward to the Orion VII 3G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted September 1, 2011 Share #15 Posted September 1, 2011 60 footers from Nova and New Flyer. And of course, the RTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C40LFR Posted September 1, 2011 Share #17 Posted September 1, 2011 You guys have only seen a LOW resolution pic of the XD40 at ONE angle from the New Flyer site. Wait until you actually see the bus in person, or atleast a good picture of the whole bus. Even still, it still looks great, and I have to disagree on the O7 3G. Even if the HVAC position on the XD40 sucks, it still looks like a far more superiorly designed bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted September 2, 2011 Share #18 Posted September 2, 2011 I got my fingers crossed for the XDE40 You may need to keep those fingers crossed for quite sometime then! The earliest we could possible see an XDE40 order would be likely be early 2013, if at all. You guys have only seen a LOW resolution pic of the XD40 at ONE angle from the New Flyer site.

The only one that looks halfway decent is Oakville Transit's. I will try and get a piic this evening. I'm praying MTA get's some of these XC60's in the future!

C40LFR Posted September 2, 2011 Share #21 Posted September 2, 2011 The HVAC looks awesome to me. In fact it looks pretty badass. Certainly looks better than the older D40LFs with HVACs...(especially the D40LFs used by Santa Monica Big Blue Bus) http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucian400/6057883856/in/photostream/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HVAC looks awesome to me. In fact it looks pretty badass. Certainly looks better than the older D40LFs with HVACs...(especially the D40LFs used by Santa Monica Big Blue Bus) that it a really nice depot. its so clean a spacious, unlike that place that i have to spend 8 - 16hrs a day in (old, dirty, dark hole in the wall aka 126th st depot) I don't get it with the HVAC on this bus...If RTS's, Orion V's, Orion V11's, new flyer C40LF's, and MCI's can stuff all of its non compressor A/C components in the top rear corner of a bus, why can't Novabus LFS's (40') and this new flyer XD40 do it??? {oh yeah...i love the pic of the O7 NG non hybrid} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest we could possible see an XDE40 order would be likely be early 2013, if at all. If so I would love to see the XDE40 being based at: - Ulmer Park - East New York - Flatbush - Jamaica - Casey Stengel - Kingsbridge - Hale - Manhattanville - Castleton - Eastchester Just a random thought.

R188 7857 Posted September 2, 2011 Share #25 Posted September 2, 2011 Anything from Orion International. Agreed, I was a fan of Orion buses from V to VII. Wonder when the VIII will be released. Right now, I am dr:drool::drool:ling for those 3G's to come to CS, but they wont. :cry: But I do hope they move those buses around depots once there done testing in the depots. @NovaCSW8030 Xcelsior at CS = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
