From: Bryant & 16th St
To: 24th St & Mission
New bus alert! The long-wait MUNI Nova Bus LFSe+ (so far the only one) is in service and running on the 27 Bryant today (5/3/23)! This bus has been undergoing operator training and testing for months after it was being delivered, but it finally entered revenue service!
This bus has a very unique exterior look compared to the entire MUNI fleet. As the prototype bus for the Nova category, this for sure is special!
In the video you can see multiple pictures with detailed components in both interior and exterior! It comes with a little different seating layout compared to other BEBs and the rest of the fleet, and an interesting LED sign on the left high floor part (which idk why).
Let me know what you think about this new bus in comments! In my opinion this bus is great since it comes with a BAE transmission!

ITS ABOUT TIME THEY PUT THE NOVA INTO SERVICE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sfmunioperations]

Yes! Should have been earlier too lol

[@valeman3]

@@sfmunioperations They are having fun with the new electric buses but i think they go for the NEW FLYER ones

[@sfmunioperations]

@@valeman3 that’s right!

[@AndrewTheMuniRider]

Nice! The windshield wipers move so fast! The turn signal sounds like an Orion.

[@sfmunioperations]

Yep ikr! That turn signal was very loud indeed

[@enolamsamoht]

It also sounds like the turning signal of an M.A.N

[@sfmunioperations]

@@enolamsamoht yep, loud and sharp!!!

[@trainzandplanes522]

That sounds amazing! Best sounding BEB

[@otto.transit]

The takeoff sounds very BAE-y!

[@ericfung5279]

That’s because BAE Systems (The same company that provided the HybriDrive for hybrid buses) provided the HDS 200 Series-EV for the LFSe+.

[@otto.transit]

@@ericfung5279 huh, i thought this was an all electric battery bus. Why would it come with a hybrid system?

[@ericfung5279]

It is an electric bus. The Series-EV is the fully-electric drive system, eliminating the internal combustion engine. Not to mention that Series-EV shares the common components with the HybriDrive Series-E and Series-ER.

Ngl to many people is hyping this bus up to much tbh but it's alr not that good

[@xcelsiornovabus60]

i heard that NovaBus is deciding to close their US Pittsburgh manufacturing plant so im not sure if they will continue delivering the 2 other units from their Canadian plant. But it’s sad seeing them go off the US Bus Market

[@sfmunioperations]

Yep, we’ll have to wait to figure out what happens soon!

[@BusTVChan]

That's a cool novabus

[@javierbarrucz7755]

NEW SF MUNI 2022 NOVA BUS LFSE COOL.🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@DerrickTan74]

The LFSe+ propulsion sounds so smooth!

[@sfmunioperations]

The most smooth among all MUNI’s BEB!

[@TheRealBekefi]

This bus makes some very cool sounds. That right turn signal warning is so loud! 😁

[@sfmunioperations]

Ikr! Sounds better than other BEBs!

[@sfmunioperations]

@@saucylegs yes that is a turn signal indeed, which is quite funny since it’s louder than the kneeling sound

[@peppermintwalkman]

Neat Video I Going The New Bus Myself If I Ride Sf Muni

[@zepgte8674]

The back seats does look a little goofy lol

[@dangelohartley5977]

That's how they commonly look

[@sfmunioperations]

And the entire bus too kinda lol

[@edwardzen7340]

When they'd get the BEV artics? For the pilot buses, would they use 38 Geary, 14 Mission, or 49 Van Ness?

[@sfmunioperations]

First of all they will have to order them lol, which didn’t happen yet

[@Matthew-pg7lb]

The back is so sex- I mean really nice

[@drivingsimulation23]

Houston Just got 20 of those they still in testing and will be in service soon can’t wait to ride one ,( do these accelerates faster than the diesel ones

[@sfmunioperations]

I think so, they seem more smooth with acceleration too

[@phillyexplore]

[@Takeo.8827]

[@otto.transit]

Those back lights look goofy ahhhh 😂

[@sfmunioperations]

[@garytan4010]

OMG I hate the route number thing that is higher than the bus

[@sfmunioperations]

The back?

[@garytan4010]

Yes

[@garytan4010]

Like the outside

[@DerrickTan74]

In New York, most Novas in our bus fleet have the rear route LED up there minus the 2011 ones rip.

[@xcelsiornovabus60]

[@sfmunioperations]

looks odd lol
