This bus is now operating out of the Staten Island Division over at Charleston Depot. It was initially supposed to stay for two weeks, but that just might change.

What you'll see here are several videos of MCI D45 CRT LE Demonstration Bus 0023 in service, interior and exterior videos. The exterior videos seen here shows the bus in service on the x31 and x5 routes, and the interior videos are from the x17J and x22A.

As requested by some folks, I took a video on the lower level of this bus so people can get an idea of what its like. To me, the lower level is possibly the most comfortable spot on this bus, since it's much more roomier. The clip was so short because my battery was about to die, ugh.

This is the latest motorcoach to be tested by the MTA. There are currently two pending orders for express buses in the near future, 257 express buses for MTA Bus, and I believe 50 express buses for NYC Transit(Staten Island, Brooklyn, ect).

This bus is unique in a few ways. It shares practically the same body characteristics as the J4500 models that's out today, but with some influences with transit specifications, such as the destination sign on top, and a low-entry rear door setup for wheelchair passengers.

Instead of the common wheelchair lifts, this bus has a simple wheelchair ramp that allows wheelchair customers to board in the low entry portion of the bus. They then have their own space in the lower level of the bus to sit at, which is pretty interesting.

This bus will be here for 90 or so days, and will be testing out of Ulmer Park, Charleston(no longer Yukon), Yonkers, Eastchester & Baisley Park Depots, but of course, all of this is subject to change. This bus will be heading to Staten Island in the next few days, with that said, I can definitely get some better videos.

This bus is powered by a Cummins ISX12 engine with an Allison B500R6 Gen V transmission.
