No sir. This order is only for 10 buses, 9500-9509. The next order for 275 buses (9510-9784) will come in next year to replace those.

The following units are at ECH and are not scrap, as they are still in the system and may see service again the future: 7719, 7725, 7727-7729, 7731-7732, 7735, 7799.

Also, to scrap from JA: 5170, 5032, 5137, 5150-5151, 5155-5156, 5161, 5168.

They must have changed the assignments again.

You might be right.. Let's see how the rest of the moves go... WF has up to 1089.

It is to my understanding that 1073-1109 will be at gleason and up to 1072 at WF.

1073, 1074, 1077 and 1080 from WF to JG.

6101 back at MQ.

Grand Avenue now has and RTS fleet of 4946, 4983, 4997, 5178, 5188, 5189, 5207, 5208.

This is why I cautioned everybody about the fleet. Many of these buses are not retiring yet, so be careful when posting RTS’s being moved to scrap. 

They have had these for a while. None of these came "back".

1025, 1026 pending to WF

4950, 5044 FB to UP

5188 GA to UP

5397 JK to BP

7484 JA back to NFI 

7649 to FB

EDIT: Due to the acelleration of both Artic options, all RTS are scheduled to be retired by January 2020.

4918, 5064 FB to Scrap 

5082, 5086, 5088, 5098, 5124 retired out of UP

8933, 8994, and 9027 JK to EC pending Scrap.

6543 and 6545 actually haven't left since they were reported. 

And 3782 on the QM4???????? Don't forget ALL the OG hybrids are over the 12 year service life limit. They are actually doing better than expected seeing as they are not optimized for the higher average speeds of Queens.

5397 was never a JFK bus. 

These were loans, as all 3 buses are back to their respective depots.

Looks like these hybrids are not suited for Queens. Run those old hybrids on high speed routes, and expect all of them to break. Can they repower them with the hybrid systems being tested on the new XDE40 buses (Allison or BAE systems) to improve reliability?

Not worth the expense when all of the Orion hybrids are to be done by 2024 latest. 

5583, 5586, 5594, 5598, 5614, 5677, 5680, 5726, 5736 and 5764 to scrap from WF (some of these may have been reported already).

Peeks in - last year #7356 hit and killed a woman and it is still in service.

What does that have to do with anything...

Just now, Calvin said:

I was on the first page looking at the units mentioned. 174/180 is still there from what I know. 

I believe 177 was one of the units that got sent to the MNRR K-9 training center upstate, along with 142.

Seen 6476 in eastchester last night. Missing the right side lower panel, sitting next to RTSes and O7 CNGs that were reported scrap

In the system that bus is under storage. So until it has been put on the scrap list, I treat it as such. 

8933 and 8994 have been removed off the roster and driven to ECH Scrap. 9027 is the last standing unit at JFK and should be going soon.

Can someone confirm 6476 as scrapped?

It has not been scrapped. Currently in storage.

4919, 4978 and 4982 to scrap
