New double-decker buses * USA - Could travel Island route
The city of NY, will test the big vehicles to see how they perform on the tough urban streets
Staten Island,NY,USA -silive, by MAURA YATES -September 09, 2008: -- The MTA and New York City Transit unveiled a new 81-seat, low-floor Van Hool double-decker bus yesterday, as part of a pilot program to determine if the behemoths could once again resume passenger service along some of the city's public bus routes... The month-long test, which is set to begin Thursday, will determine whether the new buses are tough enough to handle the rigors -- and potholes -- of New York City streets... The agency has not yet finalized its test routes, though they are expected to include one between Manhattan and Yonkers, local routes in Manhattan, and possibly an express to Staten Island route. Among the issues to be hammered out are the heights of bridges along certain routes, and tree pruning that may be necessary before the 13-foot-tall bus can hit particular streets...Labels: new buses
