Fresh Pond Posted September 24, 2012 Share #676 Posted September 24, 2012 I have a theory that they send out the old C40s to the 35 on purpose, considering there's always a disproportionately large number of them on that route (they're all I see anyway)...the 35 can get some customers that I think they'd rather keep off the newer buses. Quite the contrary. All I see on the 35 is mainly 300s & 400s out there with a sprinkle of Orion 7s here and there. I saw only 1 old one out there.

I saw only 1 old one out there. Yeah? Huh. Dunno, I'm usually there around rush hour so that could explain then using the old ones which might not go out during the day. Soon enough it'll be all new buses anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depotofrelax Posted October 2, 2012 Share #689 Posted October 2, 2012 Are there any chance are there more purchase of C40LF New Flyer CNG to replace model 2000 Orion7CNG #7560 - #7819 there life span came to the retirement. How more years left the fuel tank will be good for Orion7CNG #7560 - #7819 at West Farms Depot. At least Orion7CNG #7560 - #7819 are 12 years old built in 2000.

Nowhere near...the oldest 7500s were built in 2002-2003, and WF's buses are only eight or so years old. Buses will be there for a long time, expect a repower and maybe a recertiying of the tanks come 2016 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
