As an enthusiast, I would love to have them all in Brooklyn. But being real, Manhattan Division should get all the new buses to directly replace buses they received two decades ago. Fresh Pond's fleet is now very balanced and up to date after retiring the 04/05 Hybrids. As for Grand Avenue, I was a little surprised (and disappointed) to not see them on the proposed roster for XDE40s, but their bus fleet is also up to date. Finally, for East New York, I don't think they should receive any new buses unless they push out 2018/19 XD40s to Flatbush Depot.

Wouldn't ENY get rid of their Next Gens instead?

So is this bus a writeoff?

Nope, it was recently in service about 2 days ago on the Q24 & B12.

I recently saw a 6800 series unit out of ENY (6821) on Instagram which had caught fire. 

#6821 most likely overheated.

I think when all the base order hybrids are here, I can see all the NYCT 2007 Orion VII's going to bus to retire 3500-3599 or the majority of them. It would make sense due to the fact those buses have the highest mileage. Some 2006's might have to hang on longer as well since the priorty is to retire the 6500's and most of the 2006 units.

 

It was rumored that the NYCT 2006-2007 hybrids would go to MTA bus. So I can see them doing this. 

I actually like that idea. The Depots that have the 2006-2007 OG Hybrid outta NYCT is East New York, Queens Village, Mother Clara Hale, Manhattanville & Micheal J. Quill if I'm not mistaken.

aight don't be shocked when you don't see one bit of NovaLFS/A equipment on the Bk roster in the next 5 years.

Yeah...no. I honestly don't know where you're getting this info from but its 100% false. Brooklyn could handle both NovaLFS's & LFSAs its just the DOB doesn't want to assign them anymore as of yet.
