Jared Kam Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Now they need to repaint the 3800-series New Flyer battery electric buses to match the current livery of the rest of the fleet. I do like the prominent "stamped" decals on these new buses and hope they choose consistency on these vehicles over the coming months and years.

Jared Kam Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 On 6/19/2021 at 9:37 PM, Trimet101 said: I would say the d40lf I'd tend to agree with this - they were the launch customer and its impact is still felt to this day with LF technology. The Flxible Metro was a workhorse for sure, but I am certainly glad they have moved on. The retirement of those buses meant that TriMet became (finally) 100% air conditioned.

Jared Kam Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 Looks like they had a big unveiling event: TriMet unveils new look coming with better bus service in the Division Street corridor - TriMet News Not seeing any camera hardware on the sides of the bus - I imagine they must exist somehow, somewhere. Bus looks good - might be the first NA agency to use the 80%/20% front door setup - TriMet will call this a "visibility" improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo, TriMet, bravo! Service looks great. The NovaBus is about 1,000,000 times nicer than any Gillig. Whether they consciously notice it or not, customers will appreciate the larger windows, better visibility, lack of obstructions and general sense of brightness that is nowhere to be found on a Gillig. Imagine if this leads to 40-foot NovaBuses! 16 hours ago, Jared Kam said: might be the first NA agency to use the 80%/20% front door setup - TriMet will call this a "visibility" improvement. In reality, it's a creative solution for a design flaw: with the 50/50 doors, the seam between the door panels perfectly blocks the driver's view. The 80/20 doors look kinda weird, but I've come around to them. Quite a few other agencies use this design. Translink in Vancouver, CATA in Lansing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
