|
|
Did notice this on thursday at Mitchell Field. LIBUS did get new buses but it seems for the access a ride service that they provide Most of the older buses for that service were parked in the garage without the MTA-Long Island Bus label on them. The new buses are #2200 series.
Also noticed Orion V #161 and #300 with new paint schemes. And #462 looked really cute repainted(this was the bus involved in the accident on the N6 recently).
Wish i knew when LIBUS was getting newer buses. If anyone knows, please post. |

Are these buses part of the access a ride paratransit?, or one of the CNG's Because LI Bus is supposed to get newer buses for public service (not access a ride).. If it's not for that, then I dont know |

The new paint schemes... are they significantly different from the old ones? |

the paint job looked exactly the same. The only thing about #462 was the fact it was missing the front MTA label . Other than that everything looked exactly the same. |

The new buses that were recently delivered are exclusively intended for able ride operation. They look pretty nice, I'm confident that things will stay that way. |
