Differences between city/LI Orion Vs

[Joel Up Front]

I noticed that city Orion Vs have that side destination sign next to the front door right along the bottom edge of the window rather than on top, as it is on LI....

Different seat color.

Orion V CNG runs in LIB, NYCTA/MaBSTOA/Bus Co has Orion V Diesel and CNG

 

Orion V CNG LIB has different front doors compared to the City ones.

[SevenEleven]

1400-1525 has the Cummins L10G engine.

1526-1699 has the Detroit Diesel Series 50G DDEC engine. (Like NYCT's Orion V CNGs. 1633-1699 have a similar config like Orion VII CNG [7561, 7683-7819])

 

All buses have the Alison B-400R WTEC transmission.

Different seat color.

...interior, windows, heating, labels, seating arrangement, etc.

The GPS system which exists on Long Island's Orion Vs, the seating arrangements, the windows on both the 2000 and 2003 models, the exhaust setup and Luminator Horizons on the 2003 models, and let's not forget their Alcoa rims!

 

Oh, and the engine covers (of the Detroits) are different on Long Island's buses as well, they're low with a bar ringing around the perimeter. The ones we here in the city have are either half raised with a flat top with three bars perpendicular to the back wall or a two section sloping cover (even higher) with three bars also perpendicular to the rear wall.

 

Oh, and here's a recent recording on one of the 2003's

1400-1404 were the FIRST Orion V CNGs Long Island received back in the day (1993). Those have been gone and off the roster since the formation of RBO. The Cummins powered Orion Vs started at 1405.

The door is constructed differently for LI, and some (perhaps all- I don't know LI Bus that well) have a white light/flashing light on the top of the bus.

Wrong, 1400-1405 were 1996 models along with the 1800's

 

the first CNG Orion V's for LIB was in 1992 there were in the 660 series and there was one if you have the old LIB bus map you would see an old Orion V CNG that has the same old signs as the old 1990/91 models and they had the cummins L10G like the rest of them, rerember a CNG can only last 12-14 years those 1992 CNG Orion V's retierd when the 2003/04 Orion V's were comming in.

 

and the 100 series Orion V's were 1996 models.

[Mark 1]

657-666 were good buses when they ran in service. These buses and some of the low 1xx series had the ZF Ecomat transmission.

I spotted one of the 600s many years ago back in the day while headed into the Green Acres Mall parking lot. And man, when I tell you those Alcoas were polished, I was no good. Oh, and it had the old MSBA logos and everything on it!
