What is the difference between the LFSA and LFX Novabus models?

LFX basically an LFS or LFSA with a BRT package

YES!!

 

I'll finally be able to get a picture of that damn thing.

Dammit they need to send 5555 already lol

The V CNG's are in trouble...that's all I'm gonna say...

For all you diehard 6v92 fans....

Any particular reason why these D60HF might be trading places?

Happy hunting...

3320 is on loan to JFK from Spring Creek. I saw it on the QM18 today.

JFK really has a habit for forgetting to change their decals...been at JFK for a while now (technically Far Rockaway)...

What transit agencies in the US still runs Orion I's?

not really a transit agency but CitySights NY has a converted Orion 1.508 among their fleet. Not sure if it's the only Orion 1 or if they have more than one. Their fleet are mainly Gillig Phantom conversions and 1 or 2 Orion 5's, and some oddball units (all are conversions to double decks)

They were saying it was a transmission problem? Something about the fluid being too low. I wasn't there, but my friends were reporting it to me.

Oh low transmission fluid, not really anything major...

Yep and because of that it is getting scrapped. 9905 is the only one left I can't believe 9871 didn't make it and it was very close to NYCT spec's

9899 is the other one as well.

9849 suffered a prob? That's it. It's finished.

If it's something major, then it's finished...

With my own eyes 9836,9889,3220 CP - Scrap

Yep, both 9836 and 9889 were moved to scrap a few days ago...

Rumor has it that 9849, 9899 and 9905 are only on the official roster for fueling purposes only...

I'm wondering what led LaGuardia to borrow from Baisley and Eastchester in addition to the regular College Point borrowing. I heard it might have been related to BusTime.

Nope, nothing to do with BusTime..

9849 is on the Q72 right now. Should be completing its third trip.

The 6000's at LaGuardia are LOANERS, do not add to roster. Same with 9849 and the C40's from CP and SC

9849 is on the Q23 towards East Elmhurst right now..not sure if it's the op's last trip..

9836 now has its farebox removed. That one is a goner.

it was mentioned before iirc...9889's also a goner.

Ride 9849, 9899 and 9905 while you still can, their time is running out....

What buses are being retired with that big order of XD40's and LFS's? Is MTA Bus getting buses because I'm assuming that if NYCT's 1996 RTS's go MTA Bus's will go too.

The 97' and/or 98'-99' RTS batch (maybe 99' Orion V's in the mix) will displace the 96' batch at MTA Bus. MTA Bus's order is a separate order which is yet to be known who will win that contract.

Well for those keeping up with the Orion V CNG's:

Ready Line:

9849, 9899, 9905

OOS Line:

9836, 9889

Hiyori Kazane

9849 is back in service, so it's now 9849 and 9905 left in service.

9899 never had it's farebox removed, but is still OOS with the other 2 buses.

9905 Q66

9849 Q53

And 9849 was on the Q18.

And 9899 was on the Q66
