At East Fordham Road picking up passengers on February 9, 2013.
Note that on that day, the Bx9 became a standard route for that day only since the artics weren't capable of running on the Bx9 after the snowstorm.
My random thought is why the Orion VII Next Generation buses all of a sudden getting white masks in the front. The only ones I know that just got white masks are #3851 and #4407. I'm not talking about the ones that Jamaica has right now.
RTS #9651 and #9652 are now members of the 126 Street bus depot. Saw #9651 on the M35 and #9652 parked at the 126 St depot. Both of them have 126 St decals.
I think that Orion VII #6853 is retired because I saw it parked at Casey Stengel and its not in good shape since the back of the bus is destroyed. BTW since when did Casey Stengel change the color of their depot logo because I saw Novabus LFSA #5821 with a different color bus depot logo.
What does it mean when a bus shows "HOLD" on the front of it. I saw Novabus LFSA #5782 with HOLD marked on the front window with a marker at Kingsbridge depot.
I think it would've been better if Manhattanville got some RTS' instead of the Orion VII from ENY. It would add more variety of buses to Manhattan again.
