Busjack Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Im a stickler for detail, Id like the Novas even more if they were designed with rectangular headlights.. A curved bus with rectangular headlights would be strange, but aesthetics are a matter of opinion. However, I think the ones with the pinpoint headlights look strange, too (both the new Nova and Gilligs). I'm more in favor of the molded ones, like on the New Flyer Xcelsior, and to a lesser extent, the Orion VII Next Gen. The side by side projector lights on the other New Flyers seem a little better to me than those on the others I mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC-RTS-08 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Im a stickler for detail, Id like the Novas even more if they were designed with rectangular headlights. Some info, Ill be in San Diego from the 28th Nov. to Dec. 3rd. Ill get some MTS action (bus/trolley). Im curious to take a ride aboard one of those ugly NABI BRT buses. I'll be seeing the NABI BRTs operating in Nashville when I am there for Thanksgiving. They are ugly, but the Gillig Low Floors are worse! My favorite buses currently in CTA is the Flxible 6000s. While at Pace it has to be the Nova Classics with the Orion VI in second! Now those are REAL buses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwantae Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Me too, especially those with the Orange signs !!! Yeah 6000s Flx and 6400s Nova are my kinda buses. That's why I'm glad that 77th Garage got more Nova's with LED destination signs that were former "Forest Glen" buses. Even I'm glad that Archer still has few of them (Early 6700s) also. I Hope that 103rd and North Park will get some Novas when Archer closes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the Novas with the regular display signs needs to be replace (especially the side ones) because the side ones on the most of them barely switches. I wish that they could've done it 8 years ago to the 4400 TMCs when they were on rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
