Posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Thu May 1 16:37:28 2008 Saturday 4/26, when Sharton and company marched up Lenox Ave, stopping traffic @ 125th Street, including the Citaro bus. This bus was on the M102 route that day, enjoy.:

I love the left side route number sign - would be useful on all buses out there - a full destination sign would be best!Although the bus is different from the current American standard, it just looks so bland to me. Maybe it needs a nice scheme or something, but I find that the New Flyer D40LFR has more flair than this bus. The back is misleading - is there a rear window or not? |

Darn, it was on the M102 on 4/26 and I missed it. I was looking for it on 4/26, 4/27, 4/28, 4/29, and 4/30 and I couldn't find it. I did shoot over 140 other bus photos though. |

It would look bland in the typical MTA scheme in my opinion (especially with the white back!). But in a good scheme, like, Pottstown Area Rapid Transit or BARTA or the DC Circulator, it would look pretty nice.Examples below: DC Circulator:  Pottstown Area Rapid Transit:  BARTA:  The Fairfax Connector scheme would look great as well. I can even see the Citaro in a Ride-On scheme (the diesel blue and white scheme, of course). Wouldn't that be a great fit for the 15! :) |

There is a 'half' rear window I think - the engine stands vertically in a cubicle-type area on the other side. That used to be how Citaros were, anyway.... |

I hear that NABI 60LFWs are nothing but trash. The Chi-town people always complain about them. In fact, CTA is leasing some New Flyers from Seattle (a piggy-back order, if you will), so they won't have to use the NABIs so much. Of course, that means the nail in the coffin for the TMCs :( and the remaining 5300 series Flxes. |

That would be nice, especially with Nova LFS articulateds. However, is that "law" still in place where buses running in NY had to have two piece windshields?Or was that "law" a busfan tale? |

Exactly, as there are Nova LFSs currently operating for a number of New York transit agencies -- CDTA comes to mind. |

For signs like these, you should use a slow shutter speed to capture the entire reading. I'd guess 1/125 or slower. |
