And how do you suggest I do that? Supervisors take forever to get back to you when you call. On night bus it's a little more doable, and I've done that a few times. I had a passenger in a mobility device at night one time and I called to ask if the connecting bus can wait and supervisor made sure that customer was accommodated. But realistically speaking it's not something that can be done regularly. 

I've asked if with vision we could possibly have info regarding connecting buses for this exact reason you mentioned, but unfortunately it's not possible. 

I forgot that there's no driver-to-driver communication. Here, they just say "22 wait up"

Interesting that it doesn't have the typical Xcelcior slanted window.

The rear probably has that single sideway seat on top of the wheel as I saw 3 rows of forward facing seats before the last row in the picture.

The front section should have one more seat of forward facing seats since it doesn't have the seats in front of the front wheel and behind the driver's seat.

Their layout must have killed many seats and have lots of empty standing space because the Xcelsior in general should have a higher seat count than the LFS.
And since the rear is similar to what most systems got (as per Lex), it'll be interested to see what layout they ordered for the front.

The LFS / D40LF / LFR / Orion VI have the lower seat count due to the older design.

Orion VII / Invero / Xcelsior have the higher seat count due to the newer design.

So they are unable to fit a 2 seaters just before the rear door like the Novas. I'll assume there's only 3 one seaters in the lower section and the typical two seaters. No awkward wall facing seats behind the operator area. I could only assume the doors are wider thus 3 less seats fit in the lower section.

 

There's only one advertising frame on 3700! TTC doesn't need to advertise anymore?

Based on the asthetics of the curb side and rear (purely my own assumption), there are no advertisement racks there. They may install a smaller one that they would typically use on the rear, on the curb since there is space for it (similar to the D40 high floors). But I don’t believe I have seen an Xcelsior with a rear ad rack *queue comparison pics*

Too add on, Lower section of the bus, on the open side 7 side facing seats, 1 1 seater flip up, 2 3 seater flip ups, on close side 3 side facing seats, and 4 forward facing 1 seaters.

That's very interesting. That means the last forward facing seat in the front section no driver's side is only a single seat. Most systems order that as a double seat.

Medicine Hat Transit's ads are actually just decals. I assume the same will happen here.
