Orion folded......

Volvo and New Flyer are bus making giants, they aren't leaving, or canceling any orders anytime soon.

I mean, you're not wrong. I'm just saying that we can't be making long-term plans for these buses as we are not too sure what we will be getting and what will be cancelled. MTA's 2020-2024 capital plan could very well be a short one. The R262 contract is be delayed for the foreseeable future on the subway side and the R211 contract could be cut back on in terms of car quantity as well.

Speaking of numbers again, current order numbers and the option diesel order is looking like this:

*9510-9619

*9620-9784

*7851-7989

*8755-8963

The 210 option order of hybrids have 9785-9994 available. Most likely the options will be 9785-9910 (LFS HEV) and 9911-9994 (XDE40) but this part is unconfirmed.

Looks like they're keeping 9000-9499 open, possibly for future electric orders (if we ever do get this capital program off the ground)

No there isn't.

Seems like there's been a change of plans, 22 is at Kingsbridge.

Damn. MV continues the longest streak in the entire bus network of going without a brand new delivery. Last new order that came straight to their door were the OGs. Gonna be impressive when their last new order has been fully retired...
