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.

#9006 will always have a special place in my heart. That was the first bus (from that series) that I rode on the 194 to NYC from Bloomingdale.

ECH has only had local buses since NYBS was taken over by MTA Bus on July 1, 2005 and once the MTA took over Queens Surface, the MTA transferred the QBx-1 (now the Q-50) to ECH Depot. The NYBS owner did not want the Orions.
I remember that. Those suburbans (#1711-1714) were bounced right away.

This marks the end of an era for the Old Gens. One of the best Orion VIIs in the system, including CNG and Hybrid, totaling of 1,085 buses, started service from 2002 until today.

There are yellow cords to request a stop on every bus in Philly. Maybe that's why
????? You referring to the vibrating? That's happens when the bus stops at a light/stop sign too.

Hello! I was in Philadelphia this past weekend and liking the Xcelisors...I know, better get use to it.
Anyways, is there something wrong with the DE40LFRs besides their age? Rode #8410 on the 5...the "scenic" 5 route (yes I know...detour) and every few minutes, the bus would vibrate to a stop. It ran fine just the vibrate to a stop caught me off guard. Didn't notice that on the other buses. Some other observations...#3595? on the 124
#3560 on the 45
#3466 on the 125
#3627 on the 125
#8154, #8393, #8422, #8488 on the 15
#3317 on the 23
By the way, those XDE40s...#3000-3524 sound similar to NYCT #9510-9559 and Suffolk Transit's XDE35 and XDE40, correct? They don't sound like the other New Flyers.
Finally, has the 99 route entering King of Prussia mall (Mall Blvd) always made the quick right turn once on Mall Blvd? I thought it followed the 123, 124 and 125 to the Transit Center of the Mall. Also, the 47 and 57 routes gave me a headache with their re-routes...UGH!
Anyways, will be returning to Philadelphia soon. Was there visiting family for the weekend!

I didn't know that the Diesel Orion V's used to run on Queens Village routes. I bet they looked pretty well on routes like the Q1 and the Q43. I wonder if there's some pics around with them running under QV.
Yep! #505-534 and #611-630...50 buses came from Casey Stengel and Castleton. They were at Queens Village to make preparations for the upcoming Orion VII Hybrids.

Thank you and thanks for the insight! I am kinda nervous about school car but I will focus and concentrate, I’m hearing most people have difficulties when it comes to the practical when “cutting out the doors”
It was hard at first BUT you will get it. Just make sure you take GREAT notes. Also, BE ON TIME. Can't stress that enough. If they tell you to report to school car at 0700 and you come at 0701, they will question you and possibly punish you. When I was in school car, the TSS formed a chain once 0700 came. So when you opened the door, they got you. So be on time. Again, you got this!

Suffolk County Draft Plan Released
in Suffolk County Transit
Posted
This will be interesting. However, whenever I see the 10B traveling along Montauk Hwy in Bridgehampton and then the 10C in East Hampton...this East Hampton On-Demand MIGHT suit this area. Unless if ridership has exploded in the last 5 years or so, a few people ride those routes.
However, I do agree with one thing...combining the 10B and 10C is a bad idea especially if they are only running at last 2 buses. I would have at least 1 or 2 in the Montauk area and at least 1 or 2 buses in East Hampton. So with 4 mini-buses, they can probably get away with the coverage. That's why I said that this would be interesting.
On the lighter side, looks like you can get to the lighthouse more often as oppose to just the summer season.
