I also think that they will all be retired from MV before September, but MTA tends to hold onto one or two of a retiring model long after the rest of the batch has been sent to scrap.

E.g. 5204-06 from FP, 7664 & 7670 from SC, 7674 from JG, 185, 7815-19 from WF, the last few RTS-06 units from GA, and two 2005 OG Hybrids from JFK.

There was also a 64XX that stood for like 2-3 more months outta QV. I forgot the number however.

I think 6432 was the last of the 2004 Orion Hybrids to retire. However I think there was also another unit that remained in service with 6432. It might have been 6473.

And currently, we have the lone 2910 at CP. Idk why MTA does this lol.

Although this unit is near to being retired, MTA Bus at CP kept this one as a spare from what I remember due to teething issues on one of the new Prevost units (from their assigned depot). It may also be the fact that 1301 is missing from the delivery. 

Looking at Manhattanville's list, they'll probably hold on to at least 5-10 old gen units to see if there's problems that needs fixing on the new Novas. If not, they'll be retired (etc)

Bus deliveries and you’re right about the second bus deliveries. They’re are usually the last ones being delivered due to modifications done to a specific bus.
