NICE "additional info": bus stop sign; new buses; sell buses; N87?

" - Printed maps are expected to be printed and distributed by approximately April 1st.

- The N88 will be ran this summer. However, NICE has said they are also accessing the idea of running the N87 this summer as well.

- All bus stop signs that currently say "Long Island Bus" are expected to be replaced by the end of the year.

- Those new Orion VII 3G CNGs that NICE ordered will be delivered in the 3rd Quarter of this year. They WILL have Clever Devices installed in them, that will be taken from the older 1500s and 1600s currently in the fleet.

- The older 1500s and 1600s that end up being retired (which will be about 40 of them) are expected to be auctioned off to the public by the county as Veolia tells me.

- Depending on how the current planned changes go in April, the N80/81 will not be changed in this go around. If more changes need to be made, NICE said they would probably go ahead and change it. However, I asked Veolia why they didn't change the route this time and they said they ran into "problems" when attempting to alter the route. "

Are the Clever devices to be removed from the 1500/1600s before or after they are retired ?

Also, I was thinking of the visual re branding of the current NICE buses. It seems they started out with 1800s getting the carrot top scheme and should be followed by the 1700s. After all, the 17900/1800 still have that MTA look. The 1500/1600s Will probably never receive the new look since they already have Nassau County colors.

Am I right ?

BTW, 1720 is still marked MTA Long Island Bus.

I could work with a few 1600s. I'm sure we can make a deal.
