Academy is starting to retire state-owned D4000's - just saw one in Toms River stripped of its logos and sitting forlornly next to shiny new 17133.

 

Technically, whenever MCI starts making 2018 coaches.

But isn't the general rule like as with cars, numberings go with second fiscal quarter of for example 2018 which would be this June?

I was told a while back that most of the major bus manufacturers began producing coaches for the next model year on August 15 of the previous model year. Maybe it's changed....

 

With school buses, it's a different story - the Big Tree, namely Thomas, Blue Bird and IC - will make school buses from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017 for the 2018 model year.

Update to DeCamp, with a number of retirements confirmed through registration records. A scant few of the older buses are still running so I really can't declare a blanket retirement of all the old buses.

The omitted buses do not have current inspection data so I assume they're retired...? Is Lakeland filling in the gaps with its own buses? I know that down here Academy had been running some of its Van Hools and J4500's on commuter routes in place of state buses...

TransitMan, please use your original roster for Lakeland Bus Lines, the omitted buses on the new list are still running (see note on 8739). Thanks Edited by 46Dover
