They may look weird, but these really are nice buses. The new paint scheme is cool, they have BAE hybrid systems which skhnd better than Allisons, they have vinyl seats rather than the old cloth, they have plug rear doors, and like it or not that top cover is probably better than having a hump towards the read like most Gillig hybrids. It also still has some of that new bus smell.
The first few of this series were quietly rolled out on Friday November 17, this bus being one of them. The other two units known to have gone into service on that day are 7401 and 7407.
