MTA testing new Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses

If you saw one of these Mercedes-Benz buses on the street in NYC, you aren’t going crazy. The new Mercedes-Benz Citaro buses are being tested by the MTA for the next 30 days in order to see how well they perform in NYC.

If all goes well, the MTA may place orders for these accordion-style Citaro buses to replace the fleet of New Flyer buses currently in use.

Here’s a Citaro bus followed by a New Flyer bus.
The test buses are currently only running between the Bronx and Manhattan on the M101 line.
Check out a video of the bus in NYC over at SubChat.
