Posted by r17-6599 on Wed May 20 22:06:03 2009 ...here are a few pix taken a few week ends ago on the MetroNY Bus Association's Long Island fling. HJ was a great host to us; we saw some of their coaches and a few Suffolk County transit buses that carry the HJ legals.njoy jrc |

Those are absolutely great pics - funny part is that I have seen every Prevost model they have because of their service pattern originating on 86th Street in Manhattan - I live down the block from their stop.86th and 3rd, one of the best kept secret locations for taking transit pics - you get practically everything depending on the time of day you show up (MTA Bus Eastchester & Yonkers, NYCT 100th Street Division buses, Academy Bus casino line runs, Hampton Jitney and Hampton Luxury Liner/Classic Coach line runs, Coach USA/Shortline and private charter outfits all frequent the corner - check it out!) |

I know I asked this question before, but is the livery on #104 a temporary thing or a test to see if this is a new livery for them.Also where does vehicle # 100 (fifth picture) operate or is it a charter vehicle? I guess that all of the Sunrise Coaches acquired in the buyout have been repainted. |

With the way the operation is set up, most of the buses are at Southampton at the Omni - there should still be a few around in Greenport (that's quite a deadhead over to the North Fork for line service), but I could be wrong...To add, 100 is often used on the Foxwoods run as well as general charters - 104 is a full-body paint job that HJ will keep on permanently to promote their contribution to green travel - the Sunrise fleet (the Prevost LeMirage models) have NOT been repainted, they still bare the pink stripe, with the Hampton Jitney logo on the front. |
