Orion V 1400 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Why is LACMTA gonna give Veolia and Southland Xcelsiors. There probally gonna be ruined in a few weeks and tere gonna have bad mainteneceBTW has anybody seen 3128. Last time i saw it was on line 603 with a broken TwinVision Silver Smart designation sign. But this was Feburary 2014. Because Metro can and will do what they want, and the contractors were slated to get new buses from the start when Metro plan on ordering new 40-ft buses when they submitted a bid a few years ago. They are replacing 7000s after all. They going to assign them where there need them to be at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion V 1400 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 D10 now has 1 XN40 Xcelsior. Actually D10 had the XN40 for several weeks now. I did mention in the previous post that D10 has a "few" XN40 so they have more than 1. D18's XN40 are also being moved to D10.Division 10 got 5831, 5834, 5844 and few other units.

Jon11 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Again not tiplically a roadcall but 7079 on 28. If D3 has Xcelsior XN40's how come they dont use them. D3 has been using rapid buses on Local lines alot lately. Because probably they are currently training drivers on them... Question for everybody. Which LACMTA Division has the worst maintence in ur perspective. Put ur answer down below. Personally, I think it might be Division 15 as I hear SO MUCH breakdowns and roadcalls from them...

Orion V 1400 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Question for everybody. Which LACMTA Division has the worst maintence in ur perspective. Put ur answer down below.Division 1 has the worst maintenance out of all the Divisions. Division 1 has always dying buses on the road everyday.The New Flyer C40LFs and NABI 40-LFW from Division 1 are in terrible shape (exterior), the interior of D1's buses are dirty and filthy, and they are mechanically in bad shape.

MST-Scheduler Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Greetings from Monterey. Sorry for butting into your group, but wanted to post these pictures I took of the BYD electric that showed up at the California Transit Association Conference last week here in Monterey. Notice there are no vehicle numbers, and someone pointed out there are no BYD logos. This is the first of 5 pilot buses for their order of 25. These were built in Lancaster.

bzcat Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Greetings from Monterey.

Notice there are no vehicle numbers, and someone pointed out there are no BYD logos. This is the first of 5 pilot buses for their order of 25. These were built in Lancaster. Well... there wouldn't be five pilot buses - the initial order was for only 5 buses so that would be the entire order The additional buses were an option which Metro exercised a few month ago after inspecting the pilot bus. The pilot bus was posted a couple of pages back in all gray BYD color with slightly different interior layout. I'm pretty sure you got the photo of the first production bus. Note the bus you posted has different rear door than the pilot bus below. The production bus also has a standard 2 bike rack, rather than the 3 bike rack on the pilot bus.

That Grey bus is a BYD demo bus, not the pilot for the Metro order. It is actually the engineering bus from the Long Beach Transit failed order and built to LBT specs. Notice the 3 space bike rack. That was the same bus BYD brought to Metro rodeo. The one pictured above in Metro colors is the actual Metro pilot as it is teh first produced under their order in their specs.
