Also 2009 Orion 7.501 NG hybrids #4111, 4112, and #4115 are now at Gun Hill depot IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw 4111, 4112 and 4115 move from Michael J Quill last night. 4115 was on the Bx3 earlier today. There's a picture floating around with this.

Fun fact, all those units were delivered brand new to Yukon depot back in 2009 ( #4092-4139). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was #7064 even part of the flood damaged group of buses? Because I don't see that anywhere else. Also 2006 Orion 7.501 OG hybrids #6711, #6743, and #6745 had their fareboxes removed and are now retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.A Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 2006 Orion 7.501 OG hybrid #6771 retired from MCH depot. Farebox removed. How many 2006 OGs remain in Manhattan now anyway? I'd also keep an eye open on Queens Village depot, because with the transfers of 2009 Orion 7.501 NG hybrids to them, more 2007 Orion 7.501 OG hybrids will be getting retired very shortly.

I wonder if the MTA is taking a look at Gillig...... Is this real? I mean if it is, I'm not that surprised considering that MTA and NICE tend to copy each other's fleets going back to the MSBA days. Notice how NICE went with XE40s for their electric bus order instead of say, Novabus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the MTA is taking a look at Gillig...... I thought that MTA would never buy from Gillig. That demo in 2004/2005 was proof in its self. However, I guess new leadership and plus the current C40’s are about 10/11 years old. They could last another 4/5 years. I think the tanks expire in 2025 at the earliest.

I was under the impression that A, the C40LFs would be tanked for 20 years and B, the MTA was done with CNG bus purchases. The Orion 7.501 NG CNGs in Nassau are being phased out right now and they are only slightly older than the C40LFs. I believe those were tanked for about 18-20 years as well.

It works both ways - Gillig very purposely over the years avoided bidding on orders from the MTA and certain other larger agencies. Perhaps that stance has changed.

Perhaps that stance has changed. MTA did but a fleet of Gillig Phantoms once back in the late 1980s for MTA Long Island Bus and tested a hybrid one for NYCTA in the mid-2000s. Since then, this 80- 165 Gillig Advantage BRT Plus CNG order is the first immediate NYC area order for Gillig in years and the second one for Nassau County. Fleet numbers to be #2000-2164.
