Get your cameras at the ready because the former Bee Lines Orions have begun to arrive at MTA Bus and will go into service possibly as early as today.

LaGuardia Depot has so far received delivery of at least 4 of these former Bee Lines Orions. Spotted in the garage this morning were Numbers 101,102,103 and 112. They all are now in the MTA Livery and have fare boxes installed. LaGuardia may receive as many as 20 of these buses over the next few days. Note that the blue stripe wraps around the entire bus, including the rear of the bus except for the front.

I did not get to enter any of these buses but they look great as far as the exterior goes.

Any photos yet? BTW shouldn't the rear have been left without the stripe and the front having it?

Pretty bad, IMO, but they're in service.

Thanks for the photos. Not sure but it looks like the buses have kept their old Bee Line numbers.

They were 400s at Bee-Line. The last two digits are the same.
