MTA Bus: 2009 Orion VII Spectrum NG

Caught this on my way to Jamaica commuting back to SBU!
2009 Orion VII Next Generation Hybrid #4267 on a Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street bound Q53 Select Bus Service departing from the Woodhaven Boulevard and Metropolitan Avenue bus stop. It is rare to see a Spectrum NG on the Q53!

A spectrum bus but Bus Co doesn't actually use the Spectrum features

Yep unfortunately they dont! Wish they had the blue background like the Hanover displays on the XD60 buses.
Also a side note to this video, apparently 4267 retired last week rip

@@r42productions69I thought Bus Company uses Spectrum for the 2022 and 2023 Nova buses. They look and run exactly the same.

@@jadenmuniz8817 they do, they just don’t have the blue background for SBS routes like the NYCT routes do
