I think the (MTA) is done with the whole hybrid phase after finding out they aren't really as fuel efficient as they thought they were.

 

As for the second part of your question, it's one of 2 things...

 

If you was on one with the ZF transmission (I'm sure you know which ones they are), they naturally do that. If you was on an Allison one, then the driver was manually shifting the gears to get the most out of each gear.

I get the hybrid thing, but the added stability of having a motor at each wheel of both mid and rear axles seems like a worthwhile benefit to go for on the artics.

 

I didn't catch the bus number, unfortunately.

From the MTA website:

Bx12 buses are detoured due to weather related conditions.

Detour is as follows:

Westbound: Via Bailey Av, Left on 230 St, Left on Broadway, left on 225 St, Right on Bailey Av and then regular route.

Allow additional travel time.

Lmao & that's so sad because in human years, that's only a teenager :(

Well that's actually the term most in the industry use.

 

It seems there is only one Orion V CNG left, 9905, and chances are you'll find it on the Q66. I'm checking ECH on Sunday.

Time's running out...

College Point is running those buses until they no longer work. Look at 9915 it was ran until it finally gave up on the Q23. If one of those buses start to have problems it will be taken OOS and sent to scrap. So expect those remaining Orion CNG's to run until they have a problem.

#9905 is retired as of tonight sir.
