On Sunday AM at about 10:45AM I was walking uptown on the East side of 1st Avenue. As I was about to cross 41st Street I saw one of the M42s that wait on 41st Street before beginning the route start to move forward to turn right onto 1st Ave. So I stopped crossing 41st Street, but the driver waved me across in front of him. And then I realized, "Holy moly! It's the turbine bus!" It really looks cool! It looks noticeably smaller than a regular bus.

Buses that run on turbine power aren't 100% battery powered, or else they'd be all-electric vehicles. Your first sentence is misleading.

And finally the "new" MTA logo is starting to grow on me. Of course, as soon as I really learn to love it, they'll come out with a new one! Very cool looking front end!

Interesting. Are stimulus funds paying for the busses? I rode one of the new NABI low floor busses on the Bee-line System this morning & it was fantastic! Step on & step off without a problem. An elderly woman I know who rides every day said this is great! Plus she walks with a cane. hmmmm! Interesting. Are stimulus funds paying for the busses?

I live near a stop and every bus that passes my front window emits this explosion of air when it's changing gears or something. Sends my cats running in terror to the back of the house every time.
