Have the NOVA fix-it vans showed up yet? When NYCTA received the latest order, the tech reps were waiting to install modifications to coaches that were ARRIVING from the builder!

I guess they are taking a page from the Bill O'Reilly school of production. F*** it, we'll do it live! LOL

With more Nova's on order, they might need to setup a dorm.

They have one, that must be how they arrive exactly as the bus takes a dump on the apron ;)

There will be so many defects, Nova will lose their shirt, eventually, I'm afraid.The cost of the repairs will eat up the profits.

I've heard a couple of reasons why Septa went with Nova for their new buses. What I'm showing here is what I was told.
1. New Flyer was too booked up to even bid on this order.

or,
2. Nova underbid the competitors.

Septa will be stuck with these Nova buses, hope they work out the kinks.

Does anyone know what company is supplying the transporters for the new buses coming from Plattsburgh?
