Edit: @vicinity noticed they do still have external speakers, installed between the door and the first window. Nice catch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look on Transit55, no buses are tracking under the 'buses' section. The live map doesn't appear to have updated since this morning. It's possible that more buses have entered service, but just aren't tracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some of the 2018 Arbocs, some of their CAD systems weren’t working properly when they first entered service, so it won’t surprise me if there are a few Novas like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick B Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Took a ride on #8357 along the full length of the 77. Nice bus. Slow acceleration. Feels, sounds, and smells virtually identical to #8203/4. The bus was sweltering hot inside because of issues with the HVAC (from what the operator told me), and today’s warm weather combined with the lack of opening windows doesn’t help that case. The operator had the roof hatches open, and I could be mistaken on this but the label on the hatches reads “motorized roof vent” suggesting that no muscle power is required to operate it. If someone could confirm this that would be awesome. More content will be posted when I get home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the speaker is mounted just between the first side passenger window and the front door. 8360 is now on the 61 for one trip and then the 145.
