jgood6195 Posted December 18, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2012 Outside of the 2 units that where sent there to prepare for the NGs almost 5 years ago, why are there no OGs there today? Any reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro CSW Posted December 18, 2012 Share #3 Posted December 18, 2012 I think an island of NGs are good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted December 18, 2012 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2012 At the time, they were in no need for them since they had decent 1999 Orion Vs. The buses they had to replace were replaced by those buses and at the time, the 1997/1998 NovaBus RTS-06s, in which those got kicked to Ulmer Park in favor of the NGs and the shifting of the Orion Vs.

NewFlyer 230 Posted December 18, 2012 Share #5 Posted December 18, 2012 Simply because when the Orion VII OG's were introduced Staten Islands buses were still good for a few more years. The Orion V's from 1993-1995 had 2-3 years left and then when the Orion VII NG's were introduced in 2009-2010 they retired the 1993-1995 units at the end of their useful life.

Grand Concourse Posted December 19, 2012 Share #6 Posted December 19, 2012 Perhaps they wanted all their buses to have the lithium ion battery powered buses? I thought there were some OGs there, but I guess not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngblaze Posted December 19, 2012 Share #7 Posted December 19, 2012 Because if they were constantly at the speeds those B/O's operate at they will be engulfed in flames... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
