This is one outstanding video. They should show it in schools so the children can learn something about the transit industry. The Nova bus is the future of transit
In the acordeon section also you install seats, wow I remember the MAN SG310 from Puerto Rico with a C shaped seats in the acordeon, but on this there are standing poles in the acordeon, like the Canadian and European versions
Svetlozar Shenkov Hi, you are from Russia? I know you have this type of buses too, what is the configuration used on accordion (harmonica) bus? Good to know the differences used in USA, and outside
puerto rican from NYC here. in the states we had something similar. Our older buses had 1 seat in the middle of the accordian bit . it was a ton of fun to ride in because you would be tossed around atleast on the buses i rode in Harlem.
@@ProAvgeek6328 unfortunately some articulated buses doesn't have seats in the middle section some has poles in the middle like this bus for example I totally agree with you I think all articulated buses should have seats in the middle 😬😬😬😬😬🤔🤔
You and ADL make Strathcona County's transit comfortable and reliable. It's interesting to see the production process seeing as no other bus manufacturer has done this kind of video. Y'all are the friendliest compared to NFl group (Galil doesn't exist).
@@Canadian_Yoshi oh ok but how do you know? is it some kind of transit tracker you use or you know the bus seating scheme cuz the only ones I know are the RTC Metrobus, Full Roof HEV STL and RTL and STM.
Yeah because Seems that CTA will stick to Nova, I heard that they don't want anything to do with ordering Xcelsiors at this time, They had issue with 2 of their Xcelsior Electric buses with one caught on Fire, out of commission.
There is a pivot in this (and in all other) joints otherwise the buses would bend their chassis going over top of a hill. You just cant see it very well in the video. The front part of the joint will connect to the front vehicle via drum-shaped rubber bushings that provide the necessary compliance
Please make the whole rear of the bus high floor and 2/3 of the front section low floor. Please, I like high floor busses, it brings a true bus experience. Will have more seating up in air and just the front low for people that need it. thank you for reading this.
that won't happen because of accessibility reasons. no north american transit company is going to buy high floor buses because people will complain too much. because of this, bus manufacturers (like this one) can't make money off of high floor buses.
@@julianheald8661 I mean just the front low for the acessible. Why does the entire rear need to be low too? It’s all choppy. Just the third door would have the steps. The first two doors would have no steps.
@@canadaball123 I edited my comment just now. What I meant is that on the articulated busses, they should make the whole rear high floor and keep only 2/3 in front low floor for people that need it. Like this the whole back could have more seating and better ride experience.
"And because, buses need to run all day without stopping for gas, the tank holds about 7 times as much fuel as an average car." Did you only quote part of the sentence? It's just saying that the tank is big; there's nothing saying it doesn't use gas (unless you're tryna say diesel != gas or something).
Sonic57053 Transit & Gaming Exactly andI bet the NovaBus artics aren’t even that bad as some people only say they are. Like Xcelsiors are just some of the most perfect buses lol smh
@Sonic57053 Transit/Gaming They adopted the designs from TMC and although many of the units, like the MTA units, did ok, they dropped the ball with the WFD variant, that was confirmed with the TTC.

Leona Forman more like new flyer
NEW FLYER
NEW FLYER AND GILLIG ARE FAR SUPERIOR
Nova bus is ugly af. Looks like a damn boat on wheels.
@@blount_man I agree, never really stood with the design of their products.
This is what I’m watching during the covid-19 outbreak
Imagine how long it took to make one nova artic.........and NYC has about 600 in service
I drive a 40ft Nova for my job, and they drive beautifully and comfortably. They are really well built transit buses, and have great maneuverability.
New Flyer is the future. I love and respect Gillig corp equiptment. I drove NovaLfs and i didnt like the equiptment
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It looks like this bus was built for Halifax transit.
I sead that to
It's the exact same model
@@themagiccartoon1306 plus 743 on HT is an lfs artic

Chicago should purchase some Nova Artics for the CTA.

I've never been on an articulated bus in my whole life.
Jack Sayers-Shaw pour you but one day you will
Jack Sayers-Shaw you should go to new York and try it so much fun
i did
Jack Sayers-Shaw Trust me once you get a chance to ride one you won’t regret it 😎
In Manhatten, we have plenty of them for Select Bus Service.
It didn't mention anything about the joint section
@VERNONBLVJSCSONAVUNE On the 7 train and 6 train Noooooooooooooo no no!!
probably a patented process
@VERNONBLVJSCSONAVUNE On the 7 train and 6 train Thanks
5:03 im pretty sure I ride this bus in Halifax all the time XD, the 743 is the 10 to Dalhousie
After being built, this bus was delivered to Halifax Transit after the 2010 Winter Olympics.
then why was this video made six years ago rather than thirteen or twelve?
@@canadaball123 uploaded later after the delivery
@@Canadian_Yoshi oh ok but how do you know? is it some kind of transit tracker you use or you know the bus seating scheme cuz the only ones I know are the RTC Metrobus, Full Roof HEV STL and RTL and STM.
@@canadaball123 The number is 743. same font as Halifax's fleet numbers. Arial. 743 is a 2011 Novabus LFSA delivered to Halifax Transit
@@Canadian_Yoshi ooooooooooooh in which province is Halifax in
Hamilton Ontario, Canada needs this bus, they need more articulateds.
More XN60s are coming in 2023. They will never order an LFSA because there is no CNG option available
Is it also applies with the floor
Lo más pronto que sea de nuestros días no de años atrás los buses están bien El Salvador necesita de ustedes gracias
I hope Chicago CTA would get Nova Artics pretty soon when they are start to retiring D60LFs
I was saying the same thing.
Yeah because Seems that CTA will stick to Nova, I heard that they don't want anything to do with ordering Xcelsiors at this time, They had issue with 2 of their Xcelsior Electric buses with one caught on Fire, out of commission.
Well, the Ikarus 280 is linked differently, The articulated joint, the rear segment, the front segment are linked together by a pivot.
There is a pivot in this (and in all other) joints otherwise the buses would bend their chassis going over top of a hill. You just cant see it very well in the video. The front part of the joint will connect to the front vehicle via drum-shaped rubber bushings that provide the necessary compliance
How many days does it take to put a whole bus together?
What brand engine and transmission come with the bus? I'm also curious about the axle design!
Cummins isl and zf transmission
@@aaronreichler2570 allison trans and 4 cylinder turbo
They use a Cummins engine with a mix of different types of transmission you got Allison, ZF and the Voith transmission they also use ZF portal axles
Elton "Retroolschool" McFall - SCRAAAP!!!!!!!
Best bus I ever drove
I've rode on one of these before!
Why is it that Nova Bus doesn't put a compartment on one of the wheel wells like New Flyer in their articulated models and 40' models?
Please make the whole rear of the bus high floor and 2/3 of the front section low floor. Please, I like high floor busses, it brings a true bus experience. Will have more seating up in air and just the front low for people that need it.

only better!
U shuld start make more modles artickulated buses
Is the bus that was built in this video built for NYC?
No MTA finished the orders for these
So is that is no or yes?
@@exautical5066 that's a no
Ok
No. The way this bus is featured in this video is different from NYC's buses. We don't have padded seats on ours
Septa needs to buy this bus
I have driven 743 pictured finished in the video, belongs to Halifax Transit now.
nova bus is awsome
Nobody:
Me when making a bus on roblox:
"Like a giant rotisseri"
please-🤣
This looks like the Halifax transit 2012 novabus lfs artic
It is :)
Oh Yeah!
BIG and Small door in the front its nit like that in nyc
New Flyer
Thats a Halifax Transit LFSA
Cummins ISL9
"This bus runs on clean *diesel*" "Without stopping for *gas*"
"And because, buses need to run all day without stopping for gas, the tank holds about 7 times as much fuel as an average car."
Did you only quote part of the sentence? It's just saying that the tank is big; there's nothing saying it doesn't use gas (unless you're tryna say diesel != gas or something).
"Gas" is often a substitute reference for "Fuel".
The same narrator from How It's Made seasons 5-30
These busses seem to get their interior dirty very easily
you can review the recommended process on ruclips.net/p/PLDkiyc35lD-gRk1uNiiiJkMNoNs4doBr8

Rear most ones.

Novabus lfsa lore
Novabus i would like if u send sum to the STL plz. i like novabuses
Houston metro have them! Barely 2 years old and they ragly! We should've listen to Memphis when they warned about them ! Love the Excelsior's
fuck Excelsors
The correct spelling is xcelsiors
Nova lfs buses in nyc last years , new flyers suck , we have them jn albany aleays breaking down , always an issue with new flyer
What about nabi buses
Leem Wills Hmmm that's incorrect. NYC have NovaBus Artics and 1st batches are 10 years old, they are pure trash and beat to shit
I’m not allowed to the bus I don’t see any of us
You guys talk crap about NOVABus, But they're 1000x better than NABI trash !!!
Nope NABI is better because they busses are old skool and loud as hell NOVAshits can't even get they shit right
NABI shut down in 2016. They now make New Flyer buses
@@imgursdownvote4love771 2015 actually.
Wait, you think the 416.15 is better than the LFS?
NOVA may not be perfect but they got some good buses.
Heating fluid to the radiator???
That doesn't make any sense
All heating systems in all types of vehicles are electric
this is better than new flyer xcelsicrap
krystal stackhouse Ain’t that the truth
Nope nova bus is so crap New flyer d40lf and xclesiors is 100000000x times better than nova bus crap?
@@ejdsndnj Yes, New Flyer is better than these crappy buses from NovaBus.
0:00

Articulately speaking.
This company sucks bring flxible back novabusses are really slow besides the novabus rts
@Sonic57053 Transit/Gaming NOVA bus articulated is ragley and slow they're almost near to scrap garbage
@Sonic57053 Transit/Gaming Plus ventilation is crap and the seats are uncomfortable
@Sonic57053 Transit/Gaming nova bus classics is not bad but the Nova articulated LF is ragley MTA needs to keep the D60HF a little bit longer
@Sonic57053 Transit/Gaming They are testing the XDE60 in the future and the OGs are next to retire
@Sonic57053 Transit/Gaming But there are still a little bit RTS on the road
Scrap, junk, garbage. In this day in age, its almost hard to believe that Novabus made Classics.
@Sonic57053 Transit/Gaming They adopted the designs from TMC and although many of the units, like the MTA units, did ok, they dropped the ball with the WFD variant, that was confirmed with the TTC.
Honestly my city has 3-4 of these guys, and they work fine. They're run on the free routes on game days and as such are packed. They seem to do fine.
