They could go anywhere, except 110 St, which will have all artics.

There are a lot of buses coming in on 2 orders. NYCT will decide as they go along. Everything else is pure BusChat speculation. Don't forget: there should be transfers of older equipment as well.

I am not sure about UP. I thought the talk was that they would be getting part of the New Flyer order as the Nova's do not have enough capacity for some of UP's routes

Nice, I hope the TA takes an PR pic with this bus along side 7093 somewhere, I remember they did that with the buses from the test fleets, the photo was on ads in subway cars.

Apparently #8090 has no rear window; just like SEPTA buses.

And it still has rear-facing seats in the back of the bus? Wasn't the rear window there for those riders?

Darn ! i am very upset this 8090 bus have no rear window, Is that mean the whole order 400's bus will not have the rear window? Can somebody please tell me what is the main reason the MTA is so against the rear window ? I though the rear window is the new, on style, a new look a change for once a new generation of bus rather that boring ugly plain cover make the inside of the bus look so dark in the rear section , i though when they reorder the Nova it surpose to look the same as the other 90 bus and able to I.D the whole fleet with window on back is the Nova fleet (60 or 40 foot), I wish the New flyer and the Nova currect order should have the rear window so the day light sun will brighting the bus inside, It don't make any sence the roof cover hatch is window glass on the new bus then why not the rear window on back as well ?
