It’s a squarish display at the front of the bus behind the driver (next to the greeter seat) where the news board used to be. It’s a grid of 12 with 6 video feeds active. Quote
ajm522 Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 These 7900s are looking crazy. 8138 has half cloth and half new seats. Quote

New seats look better and are easier to keep clean vs the original cloth. They make the bus brighter too it seems and they’re soft like the seats in the later series of novas starting with 8350-8949. But I can understand where you’re coming from as well. 3 Quote
Elkmn Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 I find that the cloth seats specifically on the 7900s to be strangely dirty! Like to the point where I'd rather stand on a mostly empty bus because I don't want to risk it on the filthy seats! 1 1 Quote

Like to the point where I'd rather stand on a mostly empty bus because I don't want to risk it on the filthy seats! Agree, and it's rarely just one seat. It'll be like, each seat on the entire bus uniformly covered in dirt. Gross. I don't care if the new seats have less grip than a bounce house; they seem cleaner. 1 Quote
Elkmn Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 And is it dirt? What is it? And how is it getting on the seats? It all deeply disturbs me. Quote
Rhys Pate Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 7900 Series bus 8314 has plastic seats like on 8200-8249 and the 8350 series buses! 1 Quote

Mr.cta85 Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 I’m mad I didn’t get the bus number but I believe it was 8156 out of 77th with a missing top similar to how 7951 or 52 was a few yrs back. I wonder was that intentional or will the top be replaced. 8156 looks just like buses 8350-8949 lol. Quote

Bus1883 Posted April 11 Report Posted April 11 Snapped a couple shots of #8237 which mysteriously caught my attention. It resembles #1125 and #1228 but with its front end still intact. Quote
