I don't get why they are scrapping the NG Buses when they're only 12-13 years old? Are these buses in THAT bad of shape? Do they want all of the Orions to be scrapped? Can't wait to get the battery buses....they won't be lasting long at all.
The Orion hybrid fleet as a whole have some of the lowest MDBF of the entire fleet. They roadcall too often to justify keeping them. That, plus the funding is available to replace them so no point in waiting.

I take it that CS will get #8900s?
Correct. From what I gauge, it’ll be:
JA: 8755-8814
QV: 8815-8871
CS: 8872-8964

1033-1036 to West Farms from Gleason.
Not sure where that one came from considering all 4 are still at Gleason including 1035/36 being on the B35 now

I thought Eastchester would be getting 25 electrics. It would make sense for JFK/FR to get 60 LFSes, not 40. Unless the assignment or plan was changed.
The 25 electrics has not been awarded yet for MTA Bus. It is not expected to be awarded for some time. It’s quite possible that the novas may get moved once that order is awarded.

That order should begin delivery very soon. 8842 is assigned to Queens Village (NOT ON PROPERTY YET).

I'm a B/O from MJQ. They're requiring us all to attend a training session for the Novabus LFS HEVs. I saw 9726 parked in the depot last night with a MHV sticker. I don't know if this means we're getting Nova HEVs in the future but yeah
Quill will not be getting them. They are doing this because in the event Quill has to get loaners from MHV due to inclement weather, the ops know how to work them.

Do you know if the next 10 test buses are gonna go through a similar program like 11-20 or they are just gonna basically be buses tested for a couple months like the original 22/23?
They will go through the same testing as 11-20. 22 and 23 were pilot buses for the actual production orders and were more for evaluation to make sure the order specifications were met versus performance testing like 11-20.

It doesn't indicate that in the order breakdown.
I am the one who posted the break down on facebook. The 375 40 Foot buses for NYCT will be electric.

If you combine the current mta bus express busses being delivered and the pending order. There would be 508 new express which replaces 474 buses . It would seem like an over order?
The D4500CLs are not the only buses being replaced. The D4500CTs at Spring Creek are also being replaced. Plus, the first set of prevosts (1300-1556) also contributed to the replacement of about 20 or so older D4500s, so when you do the math, 508 buses sounds just about right.
