An MTA Prevost? Can someone tell me if that is an MTA special order? What's the deal with it? Thanx!

That is a demo bus from Prevost. At what time and where did you see that bus? |

Many thanx! Let me think out loud here for a sec...I was staging on 5th between 68th and 69th next to the museum on the west side of the avenue.
I spotted it headed SB in the bus lane. I definately spotted it between 4:20 and 4:40. that would be safe to say.
It was just a sweet looking thing..I didn't ever think I'd see a low riding "Prevo" w/ and MTA logo. Maybe the same model as the "Bolt Buses" |

forgive my ignorance here, but X3 meaning a Staten island bus?
I got the 45 meaning it's a 45 footer. |

X3-45 is the model name. Also did you happen to see what route the bus was on? |

Unfortunately no. I don't believe it displayed the route number from the rear. I am however on 5th avenue everyday (mon-fri in the morning and late afternoons) I will keep a watch for it and hopefully I can see if from the front and notice what the destination sign says. |
