I would stop short of saying the order will wrap up within the next month or so. At least for the hybrid portion. There’s no timetable to when nova will have to deliver at least 25 buses a month to meet the deadline by the end of 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no timetable to when nova will have to deliver at least 25 buses a month to meet the deadline by the end of 2022 So what's the issue now? Is there a delivery driver shortage or something? I find it highly peculiar that there are close to 100 MTA LFS's (both Hybrid and Clean Diesel) sitting up at the plant in upstate yet they can't meet the demand for some reason? Is the upcoming closure of Prevost's production (whose own MTA order is also delayed) have anything to do with it? https://nypost.com/2022/05/24/study-finds-critical-flaws-in-mtas-90m-bus-command-center/?utm_source=facebook_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site+buttons&utm_campaign=site+buttons&fbclid=IwAR1wXq0tyNZZ-WA2jfRv6Vbk1-u0Br5plgY0EqO2upJ6lP5sgoTRpXOZ3hU This new command center is a joke...

Also, at this time, Queens Village Depot has 8 2007 Orion 7.501 OG hybrids remaining: #6854, #6859, #6864, #6870, #6878, #6887, #6891, and #6896.

New Yorker 2001 Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 MTA bus Company has around 195 Orion 7 OG hybrid buses left in service and while they are still somewhat common on the streets of Queens, I predict that they will be below 100 units strong come August/September as Brooklyn is now receive the brand new 2022 New Flyer XD40s and Queens, the 2022 Nova LFS's that would likely shift another 100 or so Orion 7.501 NG hybrids to Bus Company (assuming no farther delays become apparent). Get your last rides and videos now as we are fast approaching an end of an era and another fleet extinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
