I read some recent info about upcoming bus purchases. There is some New Flyer hydrogen electric powered buses coming. 90 new artics and Nova LFSe models. Since Nova announced that they are leaving the US, who will build these 90 artics?? And how will the MTA receive future Novas. It will be very difficult. There are some Van Hool buses being purchased. I wonder what model. About another 348 more 40 foot buses are coming. Apparently they want to order 243 new articulated buses. Bear in mind , all of our Nova and New Flyer artics are just over 10 years old. They can get 20 years out of these buses. It is still too early to retire them and they still run very well. They want to order 380 electric buses. They want to order 383 CNGs. Are they quick to retire the c40LFs??. They are just over 10 years old and have plenty of life left in them. Way too early for this. Then they want to order 250 additional Prevost X3-45s. They already have at least 500 of these. We all thought the MTA would purchase the MCI D45CRT to replace whatever motorcoaches are left to replace. And lastly they want to purchase 210 hybrids. If this is all true , the MTA is making some huge mistakes here.
@@mtasubwaymartasubway I thought your reply was rather vague. Elaborate please. I know my comment is 11 months old. New Flyer now has about 95 percent of the national transit market now. The MTA in NYC is currently receiving New Flyer XE40s from New Flyer. They are supposed to receive 90 XE60s to replace our first Nova artic's from 2009. And the biggest electric bus order will occur in a couple of years with the MTA getting over 1000 XE40s
Unlike the Bronx, KB and the rest of the Bronx division wants to increase the comfort of seating arrangement, which is why they have the mostly oriented LFSs
14:15 It is almost saying If any Bronx depots get the XDE40s, then it is less LFSs it will receive, and many of you will not like that much diversion. In fact, GH Depot has XD40s
14:49 The 2019 LFSs are replacing these buses at Yukon Depot. Also, these buses along with the XDE40s, newer 40 ft diesel buses are replaces the remaining ones.
I have rode these buses on the M5, M20 and M31 lines. I remember the swap with the 2021-22 XDE40s from Quill going to Manhattanville, and these buses coming to Quill. I have seen many of these lines near Columbus Circle before. I also remember seeing these near the Museum of the City of New York City.
Seeing these buses on the M72 has been interesting, because Orion VII HEVs haven’t run much service on the M66 and M72. It made more sense with the 2019 XD40s, because they replaced the 1999 RTSs.
Here is the hazard reason why those Orion VII OGs didn't run these 2 routes. The transverse tunnel they drive through, the sharp roof edges those buses have can be touching the arch. That's why the LFS and Xcelsiors can run through because of their round edges.
I do like these NovaBus LFS HEV. I hope the MTA purchase the CNG version. The only thing I don't like is the Luminator Spectrum LED display. Personally I prefer the Hanover Displays seen on the 2016-19 LFSA & 2018-19 LFS.
I consider these one of the most accessible bus models in the city, especially by the wide front and rear doors. Although I find it interesting these buses do not have inward doors, because the new LFSs, XD40s, and XE40s do.
It was interesting for Manhattanville, Mother Clara Hale, Tuskegee Airmen, Baisley Park, and Far Rockaway/JFK Depots not to have new standard buses before 2021.
ALERT: There will be no more buses from Nova Bus after 2025 after it leaves US and close the Plattsburgh plant. The company cited continuing financial losses in its decision to restructure operations to focus on Canada.
@@AutomotiveTaurus I found this on Wikipedia: On June 21, 2023, Nova Bus announced that it would again exit the United States market in 2025, and close the Plattsburgh plant. The company cited continuing financial losses in its decision to restructure operations to focus on Canada.
I have had such experience with these buses in going to Manhattan, that I’d like to create my own review. What steps do you take to create a video on each particular bus model?
1. Gather Photos and videos you want to use. 2. Gather music 3. Make a script on the history, story, and the conclusion 4. Record your voice on a camera face down 5. Make the intro, the speech parts, and the outro with the media amd music in place.
Happy belated birthday Cedric!🎉 My son loves your videos! You should consider making another channel dedicated to music because you always play the best jams!😊🎶

Novabus in Canada

12:38 This reminded me a lot of the R179’s door issue back in January 2020.
1 year gap of electrified equipment and techs these days
It's been a while since I watched one of your bus reviews. Good job reviewing the 2020-21 Nova LFS 👏
Thank you. I was posting this all over for you to find this easily.
14:03 Brooklyn has Xcelsiors since 2011. Video shows a 2021 XDE40 out of ENY Depot.
14:03 The depots that can get any Xcelsiors (depends on the type) are mostly Brooklyn, and Manhattan.
Unlike the Bronx, KB and the rest of the Bronx division wants to increase the comfort of seating arrangement, which is why they have the mostly oriented LFSs
14:15 It is almost saying If any Bronx depots get the XDE40s, then it is less LFSs it will receive, and many of you will not like that much diversion. In fact, GH Depot has XD40s
14:49
The 2019 LFSs are replacing these buses at Yukon Depot. Also, these buses along with the XDE40s, newer 40 ft diesel buses are replaces the remaining ones.
12:29 The old LFSs and the LFSAs have these type of door closings
These are called Pneumatic doors. I should've said that in the audio.
@@AutomotiveTaurus Do XDE40 review
There is a 2018 XDE40 review done 2 years ago. Plus, the 2020-22 ones will be done in later months
I saw videos of 2023 Novabus LFSs running out of Baisley Park and JFK Depots. However, I have not seen them running on the Q22, Q35 and Q41.
Q22, 35, and 41 are covered by Far Rockaway Depot. So, if more went to FR, we will see these LFS run these routes.
12:28 The XDE40s, Coneheads and the 2022 XD40s have these wide rear doors
I have rode these buses on the M5, M20 and M31 lines. I remember the swap with the 2021-22 XDE40s from Quill going to Manhattanville, and these buses coming to Quill. I have seen many of these lines near Columbus Circle before. I also remember seeing these near the Museum of the City of New York City.
Yay another bus review!
After Kinemaster subscription cuts.
They also feature Vianova screens and spectrum destination sign
I first saw these buses on the M11 with Next Gens as well in June, 2021.
I noticed the swap between Manhattanville and Quill in May, 2022. I saw one of these running on the M42, and XDE40s running on the M11.
I think there should be a 9911, instead of a 9666.
Nice bus review !
Thank you

Outdoor rear doors are the Venturas and the inward folding doors are the pneumatics
3:19 XD60 sits behind 9665
I’ve rode these buses because I live in the Bronx I rode them on the bx7 and m100 then M2 M3 M4 and M5 in Manhattan.
It was interesting for Manhattanville, Mother Clara Hale, Tuskegee Airmen, Baisley Park, and Far Rockaway/JFK Depots not to have new standard buses before 2021.

Where will they go? Or will they completely stop building worldwide.
They'll be built from Canada only. Novabus is a Canadian company and will continue building

I was happy to see these in Manhattan, because beginning in 2021, I started to not like Orion VII HEVs anymore.
Manhattanville was so boring for so long in the 2010s.
I think these match the M100 most out of Kingsbridge, because the M100 is in Manhattan, when Manhattanville, Quill, and Tuskegee Airmen have these.
Nice video.

5. Make the intro, the speech parts, and the outro with the media amd music in place.
Thank you Cedric!
I will practice. I already have my playlist.
I was in a car service entering Manhattan with my grandparents, and I caught Bus 9666 😧!
I am an Xcelsior fan just like you. I am with you these buses should only be in Manhattan and The Bronx.
Request: KB Depot review
I love these buses
2:03 Same with the XDE40s
Why is the Bx9 not always an articulated Route?
IDK. I don't focus on the Bronx much like that
Next review: ENY Depot
Ummm, norlt this year. I did that in 2018 but I deleted it.
@@AutomotiveTaurus not*
14:11 There’s an XD60 behind that XDE40
Is there ever gana be 9911
That's next bus model
Is the m31 gana Chang depots becas it has not a nut buses
Happy belated birthday Cedric!🎉 My son loves your videos! You should consider making another channel dedicated to music because you always play the best jams!😊🎶
Hmmm, I also have a vlog channel. Jardel TV.
Also, I am happy for your son watching mine like a radio station
Did these buses came from New Jersey and got delivered to all depots in nyc?
Many did, may others went to sit in Zerega Facility in the Bronx
@@AutomotiveTaurus no problem i understand
