had the night loop last night....asked for another bus during my lunch and they offered a paratransit bus there were no others in the yard

2003 is burnt
2001 is down (engine probs?)
2005 blew the motor in the middle of the HOV lane yesterday (oops?)

so 2002 and 2004 stilll live but we have 10 series on the clippers and the old gilligs back on the 62 for a little while... 5057 back on the 60-3 instead of 5073....

drivers are complaining too because the 10 series are governed out at 60 or 62 so they cant go fast enough on the expressway

I forgot to mention that I saw 2005 disabled in the HOV lane the other day.
2001 is down? Just arrived on the S110 and seen it just yesterday morning.
I had mentioned that I had seen 1081 recently on the S110 and also possibly 1069 the other day as well.

I can't say that I'm surprised that the other 20xx's are having problems. I mean if 2003 was @ ADD when it burned the I would suspect that the other 20xx's would be at risk of having the same problems as 2003 had

I stand corrected from a previous S110 sighting. This evening I saw 1059 on the S110 so it probably wasn't 1069 that I had thought I seen a few days ago.

I just had a thought. If CBS wasn't created and Coram Bus Service was around at kicking, then you could have been giving a School Bus to replace the bus you had.

There's another ST Orion NG that I saw with a rear wrap ad that was running the S110. Went by in the opposite direction , I couldn't make the number but looked like a 107X unit. As I looked in my mirror, I noticed the rear ad for a quick moment. Any idea of the actual fleet number?

Today I confirmed what I had seen last week on the S110, 1073, with a rear ad wrap. I think that same bus was pulled to the side HOV shoulder yesterday but today was in service.
