Check this out:

IMHO, I'm thinking this is ONLY a demo---whether or not what you see on the top will be on the actual production models. I say that because the black area doesn't stop where you see it at. The black area actually goes around to the back---probably like what you see on TTC's VII NG HEVs. Also, there should of been a bike rack present so people can see how the bus will look with it on because ALL low floor buses from METRO have racks in front of them. I was hoping that wouldn't be on the bus but if people think it'll make the bus look better, than I guess I'll have to accept how it'll look when it comes to Houston. Just my opinion. |

I hope METRO keeps the buses, and I bet the Orion VII NG HEV looks great in TTC colors, got any pics? |

Trust me---we'll keep the buses. Why? I think METRO needs a more variety of buses---not just New Flyers, Neoplans, and MCIs. That's all we have.
I haven't taken any pics but I have been finding lots of pics. Two of their buses are in (#s 1203 and 1206). When I get home, I'll post what I have.
In the meantime, check this out http://transitstuff.iforumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2647&mforum=transitstuff |
