If the Nova LFS are the ones with the seats facing each other in the back, then there's one on the B3 also.  I'm a daily B3 commuter and I've caught it once and some of the people are complaining about the design also.  I've seen a couple of people just wait the extra few minutes for the older models to come instead (During rush hours of course.)

Personally I like the new bus exterior wise and because the B3 crosses through a lot of Asian communities and the LED signs help a lot.  But in the interior, I just dislike the rear and the rear's seats designs as well.

I like these buses, but even in front of a PC screen they seemed a little short. Let's hope these aren't the only New buses Castleton, Queens Village and Ulmer Park get.

Still never got a chance to ride these things yet lol...

to me, low floor buses were a bad idea from the start. i like the LFSA's though they are nice and fast and quite roomy for a low floor bus (but then again the things like 60 feet long)
