Chris.A Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just now, NYC2MTL said: I thought they had 60 footers in chicago? The artics they have are all New Flyers. DE60LFs, DE60LFRs, and D60LFRs. I'm surprised they don't have any Xcelsiors in their fleet other than the 2 XE40 test buses (and one caught fire last I heard lol).

I'm expecting 2697 and the 2700's that Meredith has in possession to transfer to Charleston in a matter of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the MTA want to kill as many caterpillar powered MCIs as possible since they no longer make transit bus engines. That's just my guess.

With all of these moves is Charleston one of the last depot where the entire fleet is still all white with the blue stripe? They don't have any Cuomo I NY buses there. Actually there are a few depots left with no "new scheme" buses: Yonkers in bronx (will see new Prevosts) Casey Stengel, LGA (will see new Prevost), and Spring Creek (will see new Prevost) in Queens Charleston in Staten Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.A Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Seems that 2007 Orion 7.501 OG hybrid #3742 was involved in an accident today near Kings Plaza in Brooklyn (it was most likely working the Q35 bus). This bus MIGHT get retired due to age and cost of the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NG's will more than likely occupy Queens for a while. Some of the Kingsbridge ones are there currently as more will follow along with Manhattanville ones.

Yes, I'm sure when all is said and done, Manhattan will be Orion 7 free while most remaining Orion VIIs will be mostly in Queens/Brooklyn, SI (the 3G diesels), The Bronx (MTA bus units) and Nassau county (2011 NG CNGs and 3G CNGs).
