So are there any new moves to GA? Jam City? QV?

2085 sent to Charleston.

2085 sent to Charleston.

Been there for a good while now.

[JFK Depot]

That's just what I heard. I don't believe it tho

I never rode it before tho. Is it the same as the 2005-2007 Orion VII Hybrids

Where did you hear this ?

If they move those then what do they get in return ?

It does make sense to move them considering the fact they've been there since day one anyway....

Hmmm maybe the NGs are the replacements eventually

6246 KB to ECH depot for the Bx-23.

[Micstromme]

I caught 4531 on the B60 this afternoon. I thought this bus made the switch to the Pond.

Also, I do believe I saw 6300 on the Q59 this early evening, could be wrong though.

4531 and onward didn't make the jump to Fresh Pond and last I checked, 6300 was supposed to be at Jamaica for repairs, but I could be wrong though.

My aunt who's a T/O on the & maybe the Orion VII hybrids they have (Green Hybrids for Orange Hybrids) BTW last time I was in brooklyn I was at fulton mall & a B38LTD came but an Orion V B38 came behind it and everybody was like "f**k the Limited" and ran for the Orion V. Lmao everyone I know from brooklyn keeps telling me about the GA Orion Vs the thirst is critical

Lol that's because the 05's are fresh meat... They just got fixed up so they are running well... I wouldn't be surprised if they are the fastest things in Bklyn right now

[paulrivera]

I've seen 5783 on the Bx12 SBS the last couple of days, still with KB decals. Havent seen any bus from 1200-1232 on the Bx41 however.

 

The GH SBS buses are more beat up then the KB SBS buses when you line them up side-by-side...

Yea some people on the B38 I heard complained about it because of the size which i can't blame em for. I take Vs in staten island on two of the busiest routes going to school and a crowded Orion V is BAD ! but the Q44 was probably the worst. That's why it has artics now. but me and my friends call em "rosa parks buses" lmao

Catch a 1999 Orion V at night and see how it flies the route... An overnight hawk run

I've caught 6100's and 6200's that have breezed up Main St before

They are ECH buses now. They are on their Roster.

[MTA Bus]

[MHV9218]

5019, 6763, and 6767 all running out of Manhattanville. Likely temporary.

@TJ: I misread your post, thought you were saying these came in. Bizarre that those buses were here such a short period of time. 6437 and 6460 are still here, at least.

idk if its true but Ive heard that 5471 is in service on the Q10 and is 1027, but that was NOT by me, it was said by my friend

[T J Trainman]

@MHV it's cool. no problem. 183 and 184 BP to ECH depot. They are in service on the Bx-23. Around 7:30 PM, 183 will switch over to the Q-50.

5019 was one of the runs 126 Street depot provides every once in a while. It was on the M2 around 6:30 P.M. at 168 Street, but went back to 126 Street.

 

Also 6040 ECH to KB

5671 WF to GH.
