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 be the last Orion V division.

I think the RTS eventually will bow out at one of the Brooklyn Division "RTS stronghold depots" like FLA or UP.
I think the Orion V diesels will "reach the stand" in the Staten Island Division (the local fleet of which has been an Orion stronghold for quite a few years now).

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 B41. I don't see them ditching the Orion VII NG hybrids either. I think Ulmer Park and Grand Avenue might be among the last RTS users in Brooklyn. As for the Orion Vs, it's pretty much anyone's guess. No one was expecting them to return to Brooklyn after being gone for about 15 years, so for all we know, Manhattan could be the last to use Orion Vs. Of course, this does not count NICE bus and Bee-Lines for their Orion Vs and Orion V CNGs are newer and will probably out last the NYCT units. MTA bus Company will probably stop using Orion Vs before the end of the year as well.
