Chris.A Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 9 hours ago, Orion6025 said: Yes 'Soon' is relative i guess, but there will be 45 new electric buses arriving in the coming years. No Well Nova and BYD could submit bids in addition to NFI and Proterra. LFSe probably not suitable, LFSe+ I believe is suitable? That 45 electric bus order is over 2 years late. They should have started arriving around summer 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Back in April, the C train went scheduled to go to the Bronx for the first time since 1998. It was also the first time the C used the R68 in regular service (outside of a rare one-off).

Also, I have 1572, 1574 also delivered to Meredith Ave as of last night. It may not show up yet. Yes, #1574 is the highest Meredith unit so far. I was reading a NY 1 news article from recently that was stating that the MTA is going to by over 2400 new buses in the next 3-4 years. More than half will supposedly by Clean diesels, while 500 units will have alternative fuels including 375 Electric buses, thus leaving the remaining 125 to be powered with an unknown fuel type. The article said that these will be new hybrids and POSSIBLY CNGs too, which if true I find very interesting! Anyone want to share their thoughts on this development? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
