NYCTA EXCLUSIVE! : On-Board Orion VII Next Generation Hybrid Bus # 3808 On The S42

[aal49]

Except for a few seconds of viewing some skelly looking passengers, this was a video looking out the side window of what could have been a turnip truck. It told us virtually nothing about the new bus. There was nothing to distinguish the interior shots from most any other TA bus.

[lagrimaszz]

yoo wtf tht lookz like mee on da bus

[GregEsteves90]

I've been on this bus but different routes.

S74,S89,and S79

was the ride really smooth?

how were the bumps? (Because I like the TMC's suspension, and when u go over a bump its either shaky or it gently goes up and down, but it doesn't throw u around as much)

[trl123x]

Over the bumps its nice and sturdy. They don't throw u around much. If theres alot of bumps then then it tends to bounce and keep bouncing. I ride these types of buses to school everyday

Dang I didn't see this one. Nice video.

That is MTA Bus, MTA has two divisions, MTA Bus and NYCTA (known as New York City Bus) This is the first of many NGs New York City Bus has had, MTA Bus only had 3 NGs that was demo'd then sent to Toronto.

[landoverdivision321]

What engine and tranny is this?

[Caitsith810]

Cummins ISB 5.9L and

BAE Systems HybriDrive

[landoverdivision321]

Awesome!

[richardflint07]

I don't Think this is the 5.9 Liter ISB Diesel Engine. It's the 6.7 Liter ISB Diesel.

You're not the first one to post a video of the Orion VII Next Gen Hybrids.

I've seen plenty of videos on here before September 11, 2008 of Orion VII Next gen Hybrids.

So you can't say that your the first because your not.

[Caitsith810]

umm...I was referring to NYC's NGs, not Toronto's NGs...>_> Read my title and description clearly. NYC got their NGs this month.

[sammydenyc]

I hope they run like the 2nd generation Hybrids, because those are my favorites right now. Those "exit through the rear door"s must be annoying though! They should instead have those thingies where it says the next stop, like the TTC in Toronto. *****/favorited

[rts9100]

It sounds like they run just like the 2nd Generation Hybrids. Just newer and it talks. Wonder how fast they go.

[beatengruesome1LC76]

wanna bet my jeep 1983 CJ-7 LAREDO could go faster than this bulky dumb poor people box.

[rts9100]

Any car is faster than a bus. Duh. Why would you even compare?  And why does it have to be a poor people box? DOnt you know that some pretty financially stable people use the bus more than they drive? You just wanted to hear yourself talk.

[Maserati7200]

yeah dude i have a lot of friends who live in the richest areas in Manhattan and still take the city bus.
