These buses only operate out of Valhalla so they will not be out on weekends. I think 610, 629, and 630 are still active as well.

That's the end of the Orion VII era at Bee-Line (2006-2022). Next is the Orion Vs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share #330 Posted October 31, 2022 So I think I figured out why people thought 602 was retired and at ZEREGA. There IS a second 602, but it’s operated by a transit company under the name NEX-GEN Bus. Turns out they have three of them as well as another one on the way and renumbered them, so the number range is #601-604. I saw bus #601 yesterday leaving MetLife as a 352 bus. I’m happy they’re still in private/public service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 31, 2022 Share #331 Posted October 31, 2022 There were mentions that Orion VII 204 is in-service but shows as retired. But to be clear, 204 is retired out of passenger service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did that, then it wouldn't serve The Galleria. That's why it ends where it does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transit Enthusiast Posted November 11, 2022 Share #339 Posted November 11, 2022 Yesterday, #610 ran the BxM4C during the Morning Rush Hour. This is the first time, at least to my knowledge, that Bee-Line has run a 40-Foot Rear Door Orion V into Midtown. Video taken by Luis Zeferino. They have run a 30-Footer and an XDE40 on this route as well. Reminds me of when Stengel still had Orion Vs back in 2015 (or when Amsterdam had Vs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of an era for 40-Foot Orion Vs with Rear Doors in the Bronx as well, that dates back to 1993 (including MTA's units). It's incredible how much Bee-Line's Fleet transitioned between January and now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
