Posted by rionOne on Mon Sep 7 01:03:50 2009, in response to 135 CNG buses: 90 - NYCT; 45 - MTA Bus... option: 195 - NYCT & 180 - MTA Bus... NO LIB, posted by GOLD_12th on Mon Sep 7 00:35:00 2009. Ok (and this is just speculation based on facts)...The 90 PRIMARY units for NYCT could take out: 34 1994-95 OBI Orion 05.501 CNGs (#317, 581-610) 57 1998-99 New Flyer C40LF CNG Low Floors (#800-856) The 45 PRIMARY units for MTA Bus could take out: 45 1998 OBI Orion 05.501 CNGs (#708-750, Being the oldest of this set) Going off the 12 Year Tank Rule the following MTA Bus/NYC Bus CNGs will need to be decommissioned by the end of 2010.... #317, 517-610, 708-750, 800-801, 7214-7273, 8568-8581 and 9932-9999. For 2011, the remaining ex-NYC DOT Orion V/CNGs as well as 802-856. In 2012, the remaining C40LFs (857-989) will be up for decomission. The Option buses could easily cover this. On the Long Island Bus side of things, the remaining 1400s up to 1507, by right, needed to be decommissioned by the end of THIS year, while 1508-1525 would need to be out by the end of next year and 1526-1632 out by the end of 2012. We'll see what happens on the LIB Side... -Trevor |
