Brando737 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Won't share a photo just yet, but the Nova Suburban's will have an updated suburban livery and it looks great in my opinion. Apparently the artics coming this year and next will have an updated livery as well. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The hybrids will most likely have the current livery on our XN's and XDE60's from 2015 to current. The livery I was refering to will be a new suburban design to differentiate those buses from the urban services. It will most likely be applied to the double deckers since those will be on suburban routes. However, they may apply a special livery to the double deckers as they will be new to us. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was really hoping they would go with Charcoal for all new buses. Maybe it's just how hideous the current suburban livery is, but I really prefer having a consistent paint scheme across the fleet. We've been getting so close, but now new orders may screw it up. Maybe though the new suburban livery will be close enough to Charcoal to satisfy me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Busmanic92 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 S18111 has an issue (well i heard most or all of the stc CNG busses) with the front axel or ramp being too low. Can anyone comfirm? Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone comfirm? They are the same as the 14000's and 16000's and the Xcelsior artics as far as I know. Are you referring to the bus being kneeled then the ramp put out end up being in an odd position? The ramp is built in a way that the bus doesn't need to be kneeled for the ramp to be in a good position for loading a wheelchair and if it is kneeled, it may create and awkward angle.

Reminds me of the time (about 3 years ago) a ST operator kneeled the bus then deployed the ramp. This caused one end of the ramp to be off the ground. Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, the Xcelsior bus models ride lower, no need to kneel the bus otherwise the ramp will not fully lower but rather be slightly up off the sidewalk. Link to post Share on other sites
