Wouldn't that route have to be replaced in Lindenwood?

Also, does NYAS #179 have rollsigns? It looks that way.

^^Nice pics.

That's what the Q41 is for.

I have no idea.

Thank you. Check my thread over on SubChat before it's Reefed.

Heh, they stuck an older Orion window into 1683. It must have come from one of the buses that were just retired. Maybe they didn't have enough tip-in windows to go around.

I emailed Joe C. (r17-6599) the pic and he said it was ex-WCBL. It appears to be WCBL 928.

I see. Although, I think at least some of those MCIs could go on the B110.

Private Transportation putting MCIs on the B110 would be like MTA Bus putting MCIs on the Q53 and B103 when they first took over the two routes.

MCIs have made appearances on the B110.

True, but I feel the appearances could be more regular. I say that because a lot of passengers being suitcases and strollers onto the bus and it clogs up the aisle a bit. With the MCIs(or some other coach model) they can go to the luggage compartment below.

But if they're getting off before the last stop, the driver has to park the bus, get off, and open up the compartment. Doesn't really work for a transit route.
