Agreed. I've called up several witch doctors to ensure that the XD40 passes the BT&E program.

When I rode the Excelsior on the Q46, it quickly became my favorite bus in the current fleet.

With this, there's more to love!

Already a big fan of the Xcelsiors, hope to see these in Staten Island in the near future.

Nice pics!

My main complaint is that their signs change too slowly, a real problem on a Limited bus, when the sign doesn't show "Limited" for such a long time that it appears to be a local bus. How long are we supposed to stare to see if it changes?

So many other new buses get this right, why are these different? Doesn't TA or MTA specify the requirements and parameters?

No, its a Cummins ISL mated to an Allison. Buses 1065-1089 will have ZF transmissions.

Why do they buy buses with two sets of transmissions, instead of just sticking with one???

Because they are test buses, and have a mixed configuration just like the just like the LFS test buses. MTA wants to continue their evaluation of the Allison alongside the ZF. And I made an error, it's 1075-1089 that will have the ZF.
