All units except 4251, 4256, 4265,4266, 4271, 4272, 4276 are unwrapped. Those units will follow soon. 

4265 like I mentioned earlier had the wrap somewhat off.

I am pumped for the B38 to start using articulated buses, but I can’t stop thinking how they will manage on Fulton Street. There’s already tons of bus chaos on that VERY NARROW street; with articulated buses, I can’t even imagine what kinds of accidents will happen. Is it possible for the B38/LTD to be slightly rerouted? Maybe it can go down the same street for the B41 and B45 for a little?

I don’t know where the B38 would go without going through Fulton Mall.

ATTENTION ALL BUS-FANNERS! It will be super hot this weekend. I wouldn’t recommend doing bus-fanning this weekend!

So I've been noticing a surplus of extra 7000 series buses in service on the island, especially given to drivers who normally operate 8000s.

Found out they're updating the screens with transfer announcements. 

Which 7000 units have screens on the island?

I think he means at the depot.

Actually running on the S79.

They definitely still do every weekday. Right now there's 11 NGs on the line, the rest are 2019 LFS. Weekends they limit them and run maybe one or two at most. 

There is just two NGs now.

I LOVE the Oatly milk ads!!! On buses and trains!

Where will the Orion VII 3Gs go?

Just now, Orion6025 said:

Because replacement buses are streaming in quickly. it lowers average bus mileage in each depot, reduced maintenance costs, results in more reliable service (well, in some cases... Not sure how the RTS vs. 2019 XD40 reliability battle is going...), and it makes the public feel good. There’s nothing to lose by shoving these hybrids out the door.

When do you think the 2005 Orion VII Hybrids will retire?

Just now, Snorunts said:

Wdym quickly??? They’re aging!

The hybrid system is going out?

Just now, Q23 via 108 said:

Cause they don't work 

What do you mean that they don’t work?
