Elegant Toyota Driver Thanks for the tip, only problem is the destinations sign colors are different one is orange and the other is yellow. MTA bus only has orange. I’m talking about the LaGuardia Depot bus 7090-7483 are going to be the first MTA bus from Laguardia depot.
When I was heading to Apple 5th Avenue in August, I was waiting for a bus at 49 Street and Maddison Avenue. The I took my first 2015 New flyer XD40 from Casey Stengel Depot. It was on the Q32. I rode it till 58 street and Maddison Avenue. The exterior was the same has the 2017-2019 new flyer XD40 from Quill but it didn’t had the charging ports. Hopefully I ride those buses more often.
I was an Orion VII NG HEV fan for 6 years between 2009 and 2015. 2016 came, and I became an Xcelsior fan. Back then, there weren't enough Xcelsiors until 2019.
I always loved these units since the first day I saw 7090 in service on the B14..... there not as bad as everyone say they is I mean there braking systems is a bit bad bad but it ain't that bad as you think there fast and haul depending on what operator you get... these are pretty good units in my opinion
Well Damien, I operated these buses recently. I don't find the braking bad like how I felt it on the RTS I took in 2017(@Quill). And yes, these XD40s are superb before the cuomofied ones came in, though they still have speed . Especially I yet didn't have no taste with #7090 when I was in ENY Depot with my uncle. And I always like these 7000s in +SBS schemes alot since they were wrapped in June.
@@AutomotiveTaurus its Damian* and The Braking System in my opinion is a bit bad cause when it comes to that bus stopping the brakes be having me falling and busting my ass like there was so many accidents I seen where the bus was going a but fast and the braking went off a bit but other then that the bus is great
Same with me on the B46 within 2 months, because of heavy traffic towards Atlantic Ave from Church ave had let accidently touched a lady's face in that 7000 XD40.
@@AutomotiveTaurus Happy New Year Cedric! I’ve watched many videos of the new buses coming into MTA Bus Company. What I heard is Baisley Park is full with their 2023 LFSs, Far Rockaway/JFK is receiving more 2024 LFSs, and is assigned to receive 73, and LaGuardia will receive both 2024 LFSs and XD40s. Is that right?
