general682002 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Saw 2508, 2509 and I think 2515 this evening on the 401 at Mavis Road in Mississauga. Their destination signs were displaying the Axion test pattern. Since the speed differential was over 200km/h, I was not able to note any differences in appearance. Almost most of them delivered the new 25XX series, it's the same batch as the last 2483-99 series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r18 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 2507 on the 54 and 2515 on the 51 this afternoon. I had a pretty good look at both. Exterior looks the same as the previous batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallspy Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Should be little-to-no difference in the batches at this point. These are all part of a multi-year order with (firmly) fixed specs. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. DeLarge Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Had a ride on 2513 this afternoon, still has that new bus smell. The rear seats are still the uncomfortable straight-backed seats. Did the previous order have smaller stop-request strips positioned higher up as well? 2508 was also spotted heading down the 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the previous order have smaller stop-request strips positioned higher up as well? The previous batch didn't have the stop request strips smaller and higher like the 2500-2517 batch. I was on 2502 recently and noticed the smaller strips as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I don't know how many passengers complaining about the seats and the ridiculous notch on reclining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on 2502 recently and noticed the smaller strips as well The small yellow strips are on the 25XX series starting. At least it's to prevent people leaning it over, ringing the bell for no apparent reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Are they all out on the road or some still being prepped? I saw 2500 this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Aquarius Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 The small yellow strips are on the 25XX series starting. At least it's to prevent people leaning it over, ringing the bell for no apparent reason! About time! This happens so often, especially at night. Wouldn't be surprised if they did this due to operator complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megabus Rider Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 So far I don't know how many passengers complaining about the seats and the ridiculous notch on reclining. All MCI D coaches rear seats are all like that. Even Megabus D Coaches have the same problem, hence I just sit one row further to get a reclining seat.

Even Megabus D Coaches have the same problem, hence I just sit one row further to get a reclining seat. All the earlier GO D4500's with the American Seating seats at the rear are fine (even though they don't recline, they're comfortable. I always sit in them). It's the recent ones with the Fainsa Brasil seating, in particular the rear row that are just flat-backed with no contour, that are uncomfortable.

Orion VIII Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Have we not yet collectively noticed that the newest order of buses was put into service nearly all at once and that you have all been posting the same "new" buses for weeks now? I think it's time to lay off these sightings until there are more new buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
