The artics are Excelsiors as we all know.Ulmer Park got articulated Excelsiors for the same reason Grand Ave.(B38) & Casey Stengel.(Q12) got them. Uniformity of the fleet since all 3 depots already have Excelsior 40'ers. Many inventory parts are the same and the mechanics don't have to repair Nova's for example. A completely different bus. The newest artics are generally on SBS routes. I'd rather have these than say those beat up Novas than those beat to hell former SBS buses from the B44 or M15. |
