[Photos] LACMTA NABI Metro-45C for Silver Line


ATE2

Recommended Posts

These are the newly arrived NABI Metro-45C for silver line ( El Monte Station – Artesia Transit Center via El Monte Busway and Harbor Transitway), and it looks like they will be a member of 8300s.

The difference between 8100s and 8300s is that 8300s use tinted windows

According to some Metro Board documents they're supposed to get 41 compo-buses for line 910 and I'm pretty sure they have every intention to start the service in December, so I wonder what they're going to do if they don't have enough buses.

They'll probably just use extra 40-foot buses whenever needed.

Bingo! I've also heard NABI builds their buses very well!

In terms of ride quality from a passenger's perspective, NABI's newer buses, from about 2004 onward, are decent. A number of LACMTA's older 40-LFWs (from the earlier part of this decade) ride terribly, although I'm not sure if that can be attributed to NABI or LACMTA.

get over it, NABI is NEVER entering the Canadian market and hopefully they never do.

The compo buses have been in use on the lines that 910 will replace in december, and my understanding is that the orange local scheme is simply a vinyl wrap. So I guess they'll just take it off in a few weeks. Above is a picture I just took of the inside (I'm actually still on this bus), the lights are LED's with a matte cover and the only way to request stops is to search for a pole with a button. I can see why that's good for costs but it's really no fun if you're a rider.

here are some pictures for those new buses put into service. Silverline (910) uses Metro-45C with Orange color and the other new line, 902, uses all silver color Metro-45C

Very nice pictures!

The silver 45Cs look excellent -- although the orange "Metro" text on the silver background looks a bit strange. I'm also curious as to why they didn't brand it as a "Metro Liner". And wouldn't it make more sense to put silver buses on the Silver Line?

By the way: how many 45Cs have been delivered so far, roughly? I'm assuming that they're somewhat common now given that all RTSs have been retired.

The largest number i saw yesterday on 910 is #8400. However, 823X to 835X are missing.

According to the latest assignment report, there are 8 40 ft RTS and 1 44XX in the status of "pending evaluation"
