The Grizzly Bear Posted June 16, 2022 Share #3827 Posted June 16, 2022 It's sad to see these Orion VII NGs barely making it to 13 years old and being scrapped. Tells you about their quality. Why can't they send all of Transit's higher NGs to LGA BP and JFK to retire all of the OGs and 3800s if they want them all out so quickly? And QV needs to retire the remaining OGs unless that has been done already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deliveries of the newer Novas (both diesel and hybrids) to Transit are going slow, so there aren’t as much buses available to move around. As for the hybrids, they are already at their retirement age and some are getting the axe to salvage their parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of this, politics caused buses to be retired faster, although the Orion's we have rn are not in the best condition either due to aged batteries and some with hard to fix parts as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTABusTransitFanner Posted July 7, 2022 Share #3842 Posted July 7, 2022 I don’t think this was mentioned here on the forums but 6848, 6859, 6863-6864, 6870, 6878, 6880, 6886, 6891, 6899-6900, 6904 have all been retired and haven’t ran within the past weeks or even months, some of these units fareboxes were seen on other buses like the coneheads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted July 7, 2022 Share #3844 Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) 6854 and 6887 are the current old gens at the QV Depot, just to rephrase in case of confusion. The rest were removed as they have enough local/limited buses (NGs and LFS) for service. Edited July 7, 2022 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grizzly Bear Posted July 7, 2022 Share #3847 Posted July 7, 2022 3588 was retired. I'm sure there will be more to post in the coming days. They're really pushing to get the OGSs retired ASAP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised they lasted this long tbh because a lot of those Orion VII’s are beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really pushing to get the OGSs retired ASAP. Surprisingly to me, LGA's OG's seem to being retired at a much quicker than BP, and JFK/FR..........although they should quickly catch up. My opinion is that MTA Bus has a goal for all of the OG's to be retired by years end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
