Which Look On MTA Bus 3556 Do YOU Prefer?

How do you prefer your 3556 to look like?

This:



OR...

This:



I prefer 3556 to be in scheme 1. Scheme 2 is destroying the whole look to the bus. Next thing you know, the blue stripes on the sides will be gone and the bus will be all white. IDK what MTAB is thinking with this look but it has got to go.

I'm GONE!

the top one.

the bottom one is ugly, they might as well be boring white w/out blue and black vinyl decal w/ additional $.

Well... I think the plain white front end is just as bad as the plain white rear end. It's like NYCTA has a shortage of blue paint and MTAB has even less blue paint since they're starting this stuff with the all white front end.

Was thinking...does any bus provider out there still have stripes on the front of their buses?

Exactly, Bee Flexible #823...thank you. I do not know what the big comotion is, besides TA's need to save money too just like we do. Ads, will eventually be put on those fronts. Wether its plain white or striped.

One close example is Bee Line and it is a good looking livery. Another example is down here in South Florida, Broward County Transit..no stripes, plain white or silver and it is also a great looking livery.

Both look good to me. It also seems that the numbering over the door was changed. In the first picture, it was small and black, in the second picture it is big and blue.

Of the large agencies, the only one nearby that I can think of is MBTA. Most agencies are monotone in one color on the front.

Not saying a bus has to have stripes on the ends, but they can at least make it appear that the bus has an owner.

Thankfully, some agencies haven't bought into this new trend.

For some reason, just MTA Bus Co. displays no front ads. The other MTA bus agencies do, NYCT and LI Bus.
For the photo choice, I go with #1.

Thank you sir! Just wanted to post a few pics to show that not all agencies are resorting to all-white front ends.

I'm not a big fan of the O7, but given those two choices, definitely the first one.

To be honest I like both looks. I assume the bus in the first pic was brand new when that photo was taken? Cause JFK buses never look that good...

That first picture would have been about 4 months after delivery. But then JFK had a lot of older buses of all colors on its roster. Today, the only JFK Depot buses pre-2006 are the 5900s.
