12 more or so of those DL3s are College Point bound, not only are they used for regular service, but they are used for extras when other buses are OOS.

So based on that, those four buses being stored at Queens Village are College Point bound.

 

 

I need to ride those before they go. You video (Cait Sith) of #1993 finished me off!

They should do the same with Orion V CNGs and old C40LFs

With the tanks being expired and the buses themselves being beaten down to death(The Orion V CNGs).....it's not worth it.

2124 at Meredith. Saw it on the X12. The bus had no depot sticker on the back, but it had a piece of an Ulmer Park depot sticker on the front side.

Looks like 9889 may stick around for a bit longer...sports the new plates..

I thought it's had them for a while... didn't think anything when I noticed them on it last week.

Plenty of buses have been retired (including O5 CNGs) with the new plates. However, a lot of RTSes get them after going through the program, and it's those buses I wouldn't expect to retire.

164 LGA to BP. Only 2 bees left at LGA 101 (scrap) and 117.

 

They're retiring the ex-Bee Line Orions? Why?

[S78 via Hylan]

They're retiring the ex-Bee Line Orions? Why?

Well, they are 15-16 years old and haven't exactly had the best maintainence.

They're well beyond 15. Up until a few weeks ago, 101 was the oldest regular running bus in the entire system. It's from 1995, so it's about 18 years old.

Well, they HAD the best maintenance for most of their lives lol...

True, but you get the idea.

[Grand Concourse]

If they were sent to MJQ or such, they could last longer, but even though they were beaten to death at LgA and JFK/FR, I think it was just what anyone could've expected of those buses. I just wished the 8600s RTSs lasted longer if they were all sent to MTA bus instead of seemingly disappearing (of course a few were at FR, but i mean as a whole).

[aemoreira81]

Curious---what happened to bus 133 if 117 is the only O5 still at LGA?

[MHV9218]

The maintenance shops at Baisley happened to 133.

9889 has had the new plates for a while now.

[Cait Sith]

9889 has had the new plates for a while now.

 

Yep, I think since the C40s started coming into CP.

[NewFlyer 230]

Yep, I think since the C40s started coming into CP.

Why are the Orion CNG's sticking around CP has enough buses.

[ciboii22]

5040 LG - U.P. as of this morning.

[MHV9218]

So this is pretty good: 4946 is now part of Quill.

I saw it on the M22 earlier. I was like WTF when I saw it.

[MHV9218]

Pretty weird. 6335 also in the shops at Quill. 

[Grand Concourse]

I wouldn't be surprised about that 4900 bus. Could be just a loaner for the summer.
