Nope, College Point is only getting 21 of them. It's gonna be a hit or miss for those looking for these buses.

Looks nice, but why did they put the depot sticker so high up?? Looks sort of out of place. There seems to be room to place it where the sticker is placed on the NGs :confused:

Also interesting that they've kept the lights with the same paint scheme. In other words lights that are around the blue strip are actually blue and lights around white parts of the bus are white, this way when buses are repainted they don't look out of place. Smart move. :cool: Sounds like a minor detail, but that's me.

No, those numbers go back to when the first Orions came out for the (MTA) (New York City Transit). Most of them have been retired, so now they are using those numbers for these.

I've always wondered why NYCT prefers four digit numbers, not just for buses, but for subway cars and LIRR cars. The only non-four digit numbers I've seen are on the LIRR locomotives and work trains.

Besides the rear grill, where are they going to put ads on the buses? Looking at the right side of the bus, it does not look like they could put ads there either.
