As someone whose operated buses before, I just prefer low-mounted mirrors over high-mounted. First they did it on the Xcelsiors, and now these new ElDorados. If you look at the older buses like the NABIs, Orion VI and 2600-series ElDorados they all have low-mounted mirrors. Even buses from way back then like the Fishbowls and Grummans had low-mounted mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJL6000 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Actually, the transit agencies have absolutely no say whatsoever about the positioning of the outside mirror height. The sloping front end that modern buses are designed with leave no choice but to position the outside mirrors high up. Otherwise, the low-positioned mirrors would have been too far away from the driver to be of much use. In order to accommodate the low-mounted outside mirrors, bus manufacturers would have to ditch the modern styling completely and revert back to the old box-shaped styling - one which nobody outside of former Soviet-bloc countries would want to manufacture any more. And yes, all of the 40-foot ENC Axess buses have those high-mounted mirrors. By the way, the 30-foot Axess BRT buses are actually a special order from Pace. The Axess BRT remains officially available only in the 35- and 40-foot lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
