Metropolitan Transportation Authority 1200-1289
Metropolitan Transportation Authority 1200-1289 are Nova Bus Artics built in 2009 to 2010. The order of 90 buses was announced on July 12, 2009, and the first two buses (1200 and 1201) were delivered to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) December 3, 2009. This was a result of a six-week in-revenue service trial of 2008 Nova LFS Artic demo 40881 (numbered 0054 for the MTA). It was run on the Bx12 Select Bus route in the Bronx and the M15 route in Manhattan from January to February 2009.
The buses were delivered in the MTA's standard blue stripe livery, and are receiving the Slecect Bus livery for their use on that route. These buses have seating for 54 passengers or 45 passenegrs and three wheelchairs. The seats are grey with upholstery in La France Industries' Eco Friendly Slate Web pattern.
