Dam this hybrid dosent even moan. It screams! I love it!

Those buses and the Next Gen are great buses. Before these hybrids came along 3 years ago it had been over 10yrs since the MTA got some new buses.

Sounded very quiet even when the bus is in motion.

The people-moving-refrigerator strikes again!

That is a sexy sounding bus.

That is a middle-aged bus. Citaro is much better. I thought that the USA was the country of high tech. Where are the LCD displays in the bus? In Europe and Asia, that is usual. Last time i was in NY, i saw a old ruined infrastructure and this bus is the best evidence. What's about the yellow cable?

[nycrailfanner623]

Yeah that's your opinion. A new middle aged bus is better than a newer bus or old ones. The MTA doesnt have all the money in the world and I'm sure of it. The yellow cable is the stop request cord. It replaces the stop request tape on newer buses now.

Thanks for the reply. Here in Germany, we have the best infrastructure in the world, but we spent more money for this. You, the world superpower with the biggest economy in the word, can't pay it? It isn't only the MTA, CTA, Amtrak etc. Most of your rail network is not electrified .

@SoziLiberAL Germany = 137,847 sq mi. USA = 3,794,101 sq mi. Easy to electrify an area that small.
