That's a nice shot of a 1991 Orion V diesel. When did the MTA started to upgrade them? Around 1998 or so, because I've seen some without the old MTA logos and with Alcoa hubcaps. |

I don't know about Flatbush. For some reason, I just don't see them using RTS's past 2016. I mean, at some point, Flatbush will likely get more Artics for the upcoming B46 +SBS+ and possibly even the ... |

It's probably going to be quite sometime before MCI returns to NYC. Maybe before the end of the decade when the 2004-2007 MCI D4500CLs will more or less be due for replacement. But MCI seems to be str ... |

With this new major order looming, who do you guys think will be the last RTS depot? How about the last Borough to use them? My gut tells me Brooklyn will be the last RTS division while the Bronx will ... |

That's dumb. MTA paid, speced, and maintain these buses, while Nassau didn't want to do anything, so I think the MTA should of gain full ownership of EVERYTHING.
The MTA did not buy these buses - t ... |

But the MTA saved a CNG powered RTS, so why can't NICE do the same?
I did say that NICE would or wouldn't save a CNG bus, and I didn't mean for it to come off that way.
I don't think it is up to V ... |

The true sign will be what the MTA does when it comes time to start replacing the current hybrid buses. The authority has been under legal and community pressure due to reported higher levels of asth ... |

Is the order going to start next month or what? #2490 has been in service since April I believe. |

What the question says, does anyone think they'll save an Orion V CNG and perhaps donate it to MTA's museum fleet? I mean, the Vs have been running on LI since the late 80s and early 90s. Hell, MTA's ... |

I assume about 60 buses will go to JG and the other 78 will be for WF. |
