The AN440As didn't seem to last too long at WMATA. They were gone by the mid 1990s.

Seems like the 2008 NABI BRT 60 CNGs are slowing going back into service. One was reported on the Red line shuttle recently.

I agree. Strangely enough, it's been almost 3 years since the last NYCTA Orion Vs retired at NYCTA. Bus Company retired theirs towards the end of 2016.

In DASH bus news, spotted 2007 Gillig Phantom # 101 working the AT6 today.

Can't remember the last time Ride-On overhauled their buses (if there even was a last time, lol). Anyway, anyone caught any Orion Vs lately?

Photoshop?

Can you post a link?

I know that LACMTA, Foothill Transit, LADOT, and a couple other area systems each had at least one order of Orion buses of some kind.

Those are Cummins right? Not DD50G EGRs? In WMATA news, 2010 New Flyer DE42LFA #6580 has been freshly overhauled and repainted out of West Ox depot. Saw it parked in Ballston earlier. It's about time they got to the late modeled ones. They were starting to look bad.

I'm being told that the 2019 XN40s are being delivered but are not yet in service.

Well as you know, the 2004s are still in service at the moment (I mean not literally at the moment, with it being a Saturday and all. I don't think NICE has sent out an Orion V CNG on a weekend since just before the 2017 doomsday 2.0 cuts). For MTA LIBus/ NICE bus, besides #1633-1699, I also loved the former 1996-1998 Orion V CNGs #1400-1525 and #1806-1821. I also really like the 1700's and 3G 1800s (the NG 1800s I like those too, but they can sure use a repaint for most of them).

From which branch?

I really liked the D40LFRs and C40LFRs. They should have kept them through at least 2020. Rather those over the Xcelsiors.

All the new PRTC MCIs are now in service. About 30 older D4500CLs are now in the reserve fleet lot.

What's everyone's top 3 favorite now retired buses NYCTA/Bus company/Long Island bus(Includes NICE bus as well) between 1990 and 2004? Hard for me to choose, but for me, it is the: -1994 TMC RTS's #8600-8703 -1994-1995 Orion V CNGs #317, and #581-610 and -2003 Orion VII OG CNGs #7560-7684.
