No what I meant is that there is currently no standard bus order taking place right now so it seems like the 2005 Orion VII’s that are being scrapped are extras at this point. I would imagine the recent order of XD40s and LFS’s allowed there to be a greater spare factor on top of the recent routes that went articulated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly, 158 of the buses are supposed to be retired by the end of this year and have the new buses as a Christmas gift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buses are sent to the Bronx to then move XD60 to Grand and then those hybrids retire OGs in ENY. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNRELATED: New Wrap alert for Flatbush, Fresh Pond and Gleason by way of Ulmer Park, Staten Island and Manhattan Divisions. Saw the latest wraps yesterday on a Staten Island Division exp bus and Manhattan Division bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XDE-40's New Flyers that the MTA wants to get. Saw it in a report that they put out, that they wanna get about 270 of them. I like the ones that are running out of GA, saw one yesterday on the B62, #9406. Edited December 14, 2019 by DanTheTransitMan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mine248 Posted February 18, 2020 Share #2473 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Not too sure if 8017 is still around, but apparently there was a fire that happened to it because it dragged a mattress on the Verrazano Bridge. Can someone check if it’s in scrap?https://imgur.com/a/EdStBRB Edited February 18, 2020 by mine248 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lot less milage compared to the rest of the batch but bus is still in service. The mattress thing is old news back when the 8000’s were transferred to SI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
