MTA forever changed the way I will look at my favorite coach bus model -_-

Take a look for yourself

Nice, this marks the new look of the express bus in the road after the past 14 years when MCI dominated the express fleet.

I wonder how the passenger experience would say about the new coaches.

In the New Jersey and New York City area, both transits whom have the large fleet of MCI are moving on from MCI to other manufacturer recently when order new coaches like MTA New York going for Prevost X3-45 and NJ Transit going for Designline CNG Coach. Looks like they wanted to go somewhere else after standing with MCI for many years.

The way they have part of the sign blocked by the separator in the window looks like a design flaw to me, but MTA worked around it with the way they programmed the sign...

Think that might be getting fixed on later units. This is not the first commuter coach made by Prevost. They built an order for GO Transit in the 1990s.
