Bus is going back up to the Plattsburgh,NY, plant. Demo bus was headed for NJ.
FACEBOOK :Damn it must be going to Plattsburgh' NY. It was really a demo!

FACEBOOK: 2 reps from Prevost said the bus still had some issues to fix as in engineering and software. Once all of that is fixed it will come back and officially start it's trail run.

Correction on destination. A guy on Facebook said the bus is probably going to the Nova/Prevost plant in NJ.

FACEBOOK: There's a NovaBus/Prevost plant in NJ where Novas are serviced. That's where it most likely went. They do heavy duty work there. All of NYC MTA's Novas take a trip there every 6 months for inspection.

I think the address is:
201 South Ave

South Plainfield, NJ 07080

Nice to see this picture. Too bad they chose not to have the rear window, one of the attractive features of the Nova low floor. The back of this bus is characterless. The SEPTA livery alos, unfortunately, makes all buses look boringly plain. Some color or design below the windows would help hugely.

Yes, plain white buses are boring, the stripes help a little.
Found this video via Facebook.

looks like SEPTA is using partial parts of Nova Bus LFS Smart Bus interior style.

True, but unfortunate.
