Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 28, 2013 Share #8802 Posted August 28, 2013 Uh oh, it says BRONX!!!! lol... Actually it shouldn't say that for Yonkers though, since that isn't in the Bronx. Woodlawn however is in the Bronx, albeit by the Yonkers border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mta B43 Posted August 28, 2013 Share #8808 Posted August 28, 2013 Well in September CP is gonna need more buses, I heard a rumor they might pull some CNGs out of storage if there's any left, if not then they'll find something to full the gap Well that is. very possible, there are about 10-15 O5 CNGs in storage that look in good condition and a couple have their liscence plates still on them, there is another rumor which is similar and regards JG and the old C40s, not sure about this one but as for the O5 CNGs it is possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been at Yukon the whole time. I don't think it ever went to Charleston with the other 4400's.

Grand Concourse Posted August 30, 2013 Share #8822 Posted August 30, 2013 I hate how the logo is on the side like that, almost like an afterthought. If it's a demo, then I don't see an issue with it. Now if this is a confirmed order, then that'd be bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted August 30, 2013 Share #8823 Posted August 30, 2013 If it's a demo, then I don't see an issue with it. Now if this is a confirmed order, then that'd be bad. Since MTA vehicles do not sport badges, it wouldn't be a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
