I hate using the back doors on the Orion Vs... I'm used to pressing the tape. Sometimes the doors open immediately, otherwise I have to just push the door itself open and I hate it when it slams... if the tape does respond, the B/O can just pump the brakes to get past the interlock. Was LIB's maintenance so bad that the tape just stopped working? Come on now... even the diesel Orion Vs from 1996 are running in NYC no problem. Rode the Q32 and used the back doors to get out and I didn't even push the tape before the rear doors opened.

Those are the buses that theWhy do NICE Fleets have only Orion V and Orion VII?
chose to get for LIB given the funds available from the county and state. Orion has a good record with CNG cleanliness emissions and good mileage, so I guess that's why they chose Orion. The specific V and VII models were just chosen given the time they were purchased and what Orion was manufacturing at the time!
Thank you for riding Long Island Bus. Major Transfer Point.

I'd love to experience the Orion VIIs on LIRR shuttles on Sunrise or on the Meadowbrooko on the N88. I'd say the same for the Orion Vs but more and more of those things are sounding sick or worn out so I'm having doubts about their roadworthiness.
