Just like I predicted some Orion V's operating on MTA bus routes for a short time.

Not like it hasn't happened before, there used to be 200s and 400s going all over the place before EC picked up a local line.

Wheres the best place to catch an Orion V CNG or a 1996 former Bee-Line Orion V?

Jamaica Center. You've got the BP routes, and you've got the CP routes. After that, Pelham Bay Park station, for the Bx23 and the Q50.

 

3539, 3545, 3559, and 3569 to LG.

ok thanks. Do these buses run every day or only on some days?

The V CNGs come out occasionally on the weekends, but it's much more likely on a weekday. The Bee-Lines usually run every day.

oh thanks, you're the best. I am just trying to ride these classics before they retire. Do you know if #1306 is still around?

9849 is on the Q72 right now. Should be completing its third trip.

 

The 6000's at LaGuardia are LOANERS, do not add to roster. Same with 9849 and the C40's from CP and SC

3558 at LGA

[JFK Depot]

Don't forget, they also got brand new NG's.

When the NG 4400s came in Jamaica got a nice chunk of those... With some being shipped off to Staten Island in the beginning if I'm not mistaken

And in return when the NG 4600s came in Jamaica ended up with the back end of that series up to 4700...

Speaking of that piece of ish bus, 4110 from Fresh Pond has plastic seats now too, Along with that NG from Flatbush. Caught 4110 on the B38 last night.

 

But Goodmorning fellow bus buffs lol

6014 & 6023 back at EC.

[JFK Depot]

Orion V 6300s seen at Stengal... Anyone know about that

Which 2 Hybrids from BP were involved in the accident recently ?

[R32 3838]

The hybirds from BP that are at LGA are loaners as well

I'm wondering what led LaGuardia to borrow from Baisley and Eastchester in addition to the regular College Point borrowing. I heard it might have been related to BusTime.

Look at all the RTS's they have. At least they got rid of the Q53.

Maintainance issues.... Shift buses around to get repaired... It's done all the time

Nothing new

With my own eyes 9836,9889,3220 CP - Scrap

[MTA Bus]

Why are they scrapping a MCI ?

[ciboii22]

Why are they scrapping a MCI ?

It's either scrap or they're fixing it. The back covers are missing, wheel chair door missing, panels missing? Front doors missing, front windshields missing. I should've gotten a picture but I didn't, I'm looking for 5088 it was removed from UP 2 weeks ago I didn't see it at EC so they're probably fixing it .

Yep, both 9836 and 9889 were moved to scrap a few days ago...

 

Rumor has it that 9849, 9899 and 9905 are only on the official roster for fueling purposes only...

[NewFlyer 230]

I've seen 9849 and 9905 on the Q25 a few days last week. I wonder if these buses are extras or do they need it similar to how CS needs 1306 for pull outs or available buses.

[T J Trainman]

Any O-5 CNGs encounter a problem that's it. Scrap.
