Has anyone rode the new artic CNG buses on the n6 and n6X yet? They are out in full force and NICE had brought 5 of these so far with rumors of more on the way for the n4 and n4X in the coming months or so..

These buses a lot with the service cuts pretty much sealed the faith of any remaining Orion V CNG in the NICE bus system as well as the end of the classic orange, white, and blue striped bus era...

Sorry there Chris, but the bus has left the station on this issue both figuratively and literally. It is a yawn on LI now.

They seem nice and all, but why are they upgrading buses so often while cutting routes? I'd rather have an old MTA bus with added routes than a shiny new bus with fewer travel options. They need to make taking the bus appealing and easy, otherwise they'll continue to lose ridership. I understand their first round of improvements after their initial upgrade (you had to crawl over people to press the like 4 stop buttons) but after that, idk what they were thinking.

Only difference between MTA one is, there is no middle door.
