Great photos!

I'll be curious to see if anyone ever sits in those seats right behind the driver...very cramped-looking.
Weather they are facing forward or sideways, its very uncomfortable. Thats the only part of the Nova LFS buses I don't like.

The layout of this bus seems crap to me, while all the front part seatings are facing forward which is nice, the luggage rack are horrible. And they should sacrifice the two seats behind the shame panel to install there a true luggage rack (like on STM 747 bus)

I have to agree with it!
More and more transit system are sticking to LF because of economical issues! Where as HF, it will be a rare to see in much future times!

As of April 2009, I have finally rode Nova Classic T-drive, two types of different engine! Which ones is better? Series 50 all the way man!

Every driver including myself has said that about those seats remove them and add a caged luggage area. We will have big problems with the luggage racks for sure they won’t fit much. On top of that Nova Scotia has some of the strictest rules when it comes to carrying things on a bus and where it is allowed to be placed.

Better than riding the Airporter, at least it will run real bus service schedule, not limited schedule!
