Hello!!
I hope I'm not too late to pitch in on the NYC Project!!
If you still need help with the buses, I found some Database websites with pictures and full names that can give you a general Idea on what to look for!
Also, I saw in pages 1-7 that you have problems with the LSF Nova buses. Try looking for Buses Montreal in Google.
Montreal is overstocked on NOVA buses so you can get a really good idea about looks, insides and so forth!
I'll keep looking for architecture and more buses!
please let me know if you'd like anything else image wise. I'll do my best to supply.
Looking forward to the NYC Map!
