AllenJ24 Posted May 1, 2010 Share #651 Posted May 1, 2010 The answer is the B83 from the ENY depot. It was made from scratch by New York City Transit in 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share #652 Posted May 1, 2010 Try to be more specific when posting questions, because the B83 is just one of many throughout all 5 boroughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share #656 Posted May 12, 2010 NYCT has taken delivery of just under 3,000 Orion buses since 1994. With the largest Orion fleet in the world, has taken delivery of how many Orion VII's? (including 4700-4703), and not including demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TransitMan Posted May 15, 2010 Share #670 Posted May 15, 2010 Okay, I guess it would be MY turn, huh? Now, the Q88 was debuted in 1974 when Queens Village Bus Depot first opened. However, the Q88 did not end at the Queens Village L.I.R.R. Station. So, here's the question...where did the Q88 FIRST terminate at? BONUS QUESTION: Where did the Q88 terminate in Elmhurst? HINT: It's not where it terminates now! ;-) Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either I REALLY got you guys OR you guys don't look at (or collect or STUDY) old bus maps...and I'm not that older then much of the members on this board. UGH! No worries! Ok, I'll give you the answer and then somebody can start a NEW question. The Q88 ended at Springfield Blvd and BRADDOCK Av (I'll confirm which year that was shown on the Queens Bus Map. Either 1980 OR 1985). Also the answer to the BONUS question, the Q88 ended on 92nd St between 59th Av and the exit ramp of the L.I.E. Anotherwords, a block in front of where the Q88 ends at now. The first stop use to be at the corner of Queens Blvd and 59th Av...in front of what is now I think a McDonalds. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Heh, I remember that one. Horace Harding, (did they make a right on Junction? I don't remember clearly), left on 59th, left on 92nd, dump passengers. Before they made 59th one-way.
