Greenville retired its first 5200 from service. 5259 retired from Greenville. I did remember seeing this unit getting stripped of parts actually in February but I didnt think much of it at the time thinking it was just getting some  replacement parts.

looks like 6484 & 6485 did replaced two units.

3708 and 3751 are pending retirement due to their age.

3821 broke down on March 15th, and hasn't been in service since.

Lol if I only came a little earlier on Friday I would've also had 3708.

I'm waiting to hear who the first person will be who complains that he didn't get his final pictures of these OG's.

And there will be quite a few.

Tell me about it… 

Speaking of 3751, happened to catch it earlier today. This on its final days. Probably ain't lasting after next week (or even this weekend) tbh.

21245 also at Wayne. On Route 191.

Since when was there a 105?

former DeCamp bus route. Was originally the 195D but now the 105 in September last year.

21245 and 21248 were fire damaged. 21245 caught fire in December 2021 and has not been seen since (but a photo from January showed it was repaired with a new rear panel) although still with Coach USA colors. 21248 was last seen at the Suburban Transit overflow lot in late 2022.

I'm wondering if they're just running the 9000s and 7100s until their inspections expire or as long as they're good for. Wayne is at nearly 250 buses now so I doubt the number will stay that high.

I also remember Wayne was originally supposed to get 21191-21240 (which is 50 buses) back in early 2021 - guessing this means Wayne will get 50 of the ex-private carriers 21000s.

Yeah ik they were. I believe they may've been repaired but I'm not sure if they're still with Suburban or back with NJT I mean.

It kind of makes sense to kick the 119 out of jsq 

Flow, traffic issues, and the construction at JSQ rn, especially with increasing 119 service. Was fanning one time at JSQ last month and many buses were being backed up alongside other buses in Lane C due to a 125 blocking part of the lane.

21244 Suburban Transit to Wayne. Still waiting on 21243, 21245, and 21248

The main arguement for what i saw is that Fairview dont need MCI...all i did was beg the differ..Its gotta be some what a benifit if they choose to send them there.....I cant speak for increase in ridership for the lines..I also touched on the fact that they also got 45 fts buses to train drivers who where used to 40 fts and nabis and the fact that fairview eventually gonna be a merge garage which also gonna require them...Thats the reason those 40  fts they do got is being moved...Me personally all fairview lines can have them....i also heard that market st drivers are starting to train for 45 fts from wayne

Speaking of Market Street, I did hear they want to get their original PABT routes back in the near future. And I believe Market cant hold 45fts without modifications. 

I never understood the purpose of MCIs at Fairview tbh. Most their lines are mostly on local streets, and not really for highway express. Another reason why I don't get an MCI being on the 126 tbh (unless its to fill more seats for the demand). It does keep their mileage down though I believe.

Also 21236, 21237, and 21238 are all at Wayne. Time to catch the remaining CLs.

You may have them by the first week or middle of April. 3698, 3700, 3708, 3746, 3748, 3756, 3762 are the remaining ones running for now. 
 

In my suggestion, I would go now during the weekdays except late nights because how rapid the new buses are delivered or some transfers that’ll happen over at LGA. 

Also 3751 is active. However I think someone mentioned 3746 as retired before.

So how long do these OGs still got? By end of March?

And which ones still remain?

9004, 9021, 9023 Fairview to Wayne

21277, 21278, 21279, 21280, 21281, 21296, 21297 all are at Fairview apparently
