Same, I hope it goes into the museum fleet because the D60HFs were the most successful fleet of articulated buses to begin with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I also hope when it’s the time for Novas to retire one of the 2009 or 2011-13 get persevered because they was the first Low Floors Artics we ever had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted May 23, 2021 Share #5305 Posted May 23, 2021 It appears that 7851 is currently en route. It's in Pennsylvania at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted May 24, 2021 Share #5306 Posted May 24, 2021 9504 is finally in the tri-state area after being at the Allison Transmission plant for a few months. It's currently at a service center in Lodi, New Jersey. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think some depots like MCH, MHV, and QV would turn to being electric first. Edited May 25, 2021 by NBTA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted May 25, 2021 Share #5309 Posted May 25, 2021 Also very interesting to see East New York and Grand Avenue on the list for this project. I believe ENY is wrapping up construction right now for artic space for the possibility of having the B82 and B15 artic lines (if I’m correct) and now electric ⚡️ buses also now coming to the depot. Good stuff for the Brooklyn Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Was looking like they were just sticking with hybrid). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategamer12c Posted May 28, 2021 Share #5317 Posted May 28, 2021 6698 was spotted at Flushing Av along the and lines with a ENY Decal. I assume it will be used as a swing bus for them or maybe for storage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
