MTA New York City Bus & MTA Bus Company Pending Bus Contracts

[-CT1660-]

Anyone else care to guess what depots these 690 to 1390 buses will be going?

 

 

Definitely the NYCT depots (if you exclude the MTA Bus depots) with the 1996 & 1997 year RTS's

Last I checked MTA never qualified this bus or any bus from NABI on top of that.

You know, it will be a sad day when all these classic buses retire. I'm going to miss the Orion Vs mostly and the Novabus RTS's (and D60HFs and Pre-9/11 C40LFs)

Open your bloody eyes and read the RFP in the first page....we are getting CLEAN DIESEL buses....not hybrids!

 

We're only getting 2 selections in this!

Could not be stressed enough.

[Grand Concourse]

Lol, did he really call them 'onion'?

[DJ MC]

Lol, did he really call them 'onion'?

 

 

lol. Yeah he did. I didn't even notice that (not that it mattered).

[Chargerdodge9]

Funny.

I've seen quite a few Orion haters refer to them by this name.

This order is for NYCT only. MTA bus may see 34 buses out of one of the options in the future. That's about all for now.

Can you stop calling them Pre-9/11 C40s? It's not like it was the beginning of of time, I don't refer to my life as pre-9/11 and post 9/11, I wasn't born pre-9/11, we're not living in the year 11 Post-9/11, 1 AD was not the start of the Pre-9/11 era. This is 2012. That was 2001. Those C40s in were built in 1998-2000, not the years 3-1 Pre-9/11. We have years to refer to them, or old C40s and new C40s will do just fine.

I don't think you'll need to worry about him anytime soon...

[DJ MC]

I don't think you'll need to worry about him anytime soon...

 

 

Or ever.

Question. Will these buses, whether its Xcelsiors or Novas, have every spec as the BT&E ones? Or are they allowed to change specs?

They will change it up as they see fit.

Some specs might change and of course they are allowed to change the specs.

[Around the Horn]

Any chance the order is split?

[DJ MC]

Any chance the order is split?

 

 

We will find out soon.

[RailBus63]

Any chance the order is split?

 

 

I'll be surprised if it isn't split.

[Guest MTA Bus]

So this order will push out the Orion Vs as well ?

[XcelsiorBoii4888]

So this order will push out the Orion Vs as well ?

 

 

yeahh all Orion Vs and all RTS...well maybe all...i think the 5000x will stay longer...

[jgood6195]

I could see the MTA keeping the Orion Vs until about 2016.
