I don't recall them being lengthened either, if I had seen that work done, I would not have been so surprised to see the artic. It was hard to miss in the new livery. I only saw it at 2 stops though, and did not notice it hanging into the roadway much so I'll have to get a better look over the weekend. All the other buses I saw on Jewel were still Orions (and a few MCI QM4s) |

I live off Parsons and Jewel so I see the buses all the time, and ride them pretty often going to the subway, live and learn. |

I only saw the one, and have not seen anything other than Orion hybrids beside that day. Actually, they might not be a bad fit on this route weekdays. 111/113/114 are listed as Artic routes, but they probably don't have enough for 100% at peak. |

Thats about all BP has for local service other than 3 NG and the artics If it was still a CP route, all we would see is C40LF, which I like, but would probably be tired of by now antway. |

Since I spotted the first one, it seems like I have started seeing one a day in the afternoons. Maybe one pulls out for the second part of the day.... very heavy loading at 71st Continental subway, might be a good idea... |

Out of curiosity, were they split between morning and eve rush, or 4 all day? The route is very heavy AM rush to work, PM rush home, fairly busy in between and even in the evenings.....Now I have to keep my eyes open for numbers....The new livery is easy to spot even from a distance.... |
