New Articulated Bus Spotted

Yesterday as I was driving in Far Rockaway saw the newest MTA Bus vehicle - a new (Excelsior?) articulated. The entire Q113/Q114 looks like its equipped with them. They have a new and attractive dark blue and gold paint scheme.

Where have they been (or will be) assigned besides Baisley Park. MABSTOA and NYCTA will also receive, correct?

If it is spotted, is it a LEOPARD?

Old news. They've been there for months. We've talked about them here.

Eventually NYCT and former MABSTOA routes will receive new artics with the same paint scheme. Soon 40' new CNG's will hit Gleason and West Farms depots with that scheme.

Will any of the MTA’s existing fleet be repainted in the new colors or will the MTA just leave them as is?

Depends on the age of the bus.

Why are you "Wowing" when you've already seen plenty of pictures of them?

Bus fleets from 2011 (along with 1200-1289) are said to get the new colors soon after the next new orders come in.
