The MTA - going every which way (with the paint scheme) |
|
|
Posted by AMoreira81 on Mon Feb 27 15:53:23 2012 And this is just on the O7 first generation fleet.Original scheme (as shown on 3713):  First repaint scheme with painted doors  Extra window trim added  Window trim deleted for the first time  Blank front introduced with window trim and blank doors   Blank front introduced with no window trim  Front stripe comes back with window trim and blank doors   Front stripe retained but with the window trim removed.   That's seven different liveries on a fleet of 1,082 buses (3 O7s retired). Why not just settle on one paint scheme? |

I don't like the front without the blue stripe on it. And I don't really like the all white paint at the back. |

Bus foamers....nit pickers to the Nth degree. Here's a project for you.....count them, put then into a spreadsheet and give us a PowerPoint presentation. But you've, no doubt, already are 1/2 way through that. SMH |

I doubt it's a design issue. It's not uncommon to have this happen when a TA operates a large fleet of the same bus model. Boston's MBTA had a rash of RTS fires a few years back. Every one was found to have a different cause. |
