    At some point you have to recharge the battery which can not be maintained by UP. So being housed at UP is not happen with out that station, DH to FB to recharge probably won’t be happening. Thanks for the lesson of the Brake system and power system. 

    I hope we're talking about 4581 2009 Orion Hybrid Electric VII Next Gen and not some other bus right ? Like I said this bus could be maintained and operated by any depot with training like particular features incase of a failure from the hybrid system also being that its a mild hybrid vehicle thats self powered.. when incomes to replacing the batteries due to failure, to my knowledge its handled via the vendor for BAE Systems...

    Most likely a loaner UP does not have a recharge station.

    This bus 4581 does not need to be recharged like a full electric bus like the XE40/BE40, so that bus could be transferred to or used by any depot.. Its a hybrid bus that generates its own power via a generator attached to the engine which charges the batteries on the roof that powers the electric drive unit that moves the bus..

    Now, I'm sure that's totally true for NYCT - but I've also noticed JK and LG buses (Usually RTS' and the Old Gens) get their scheduled overhaul painting done in ENY, usually in the summer, the last 3 summers I've noticed it.
    So does MTA bus have two different depots doing their overhaul paintings? And that overhaul painting isn't just painting for some buses right?

    ENY CMF doesn't have a paint booth, the body prep gets done but its sent out to the CMF like Grand...

    I have noticed something this week with front of the RTS's from UP and FB, they removed all the 'VIM' AD'S (model advertising Jeans) and now just the MTA logo is there.. Did someone file a complaint or a move by MTA to not to put Ads on the front anymore ? P.S saw a couple NGs like that also..
