Oh man, most of them were transferred to Spring Creek and they actually ran longer than the Command ones. True, they never ran out of LGA and that was due to the fact that MTA Bus set forth the move to shut down CNG operations out of LGA. So the first buses moved were the CNG RTS to Spring Creek, then soon followed the Orion 5s to College Point and Spring Creek which in turn displaced TMC RTS Diesels to LGA and other depots.We got almost a good year out of the ex-Triboro CNG RTSs before they were retired. All of them were given a good fixing up mechanically before being sent to Spring Creek and they ran rather well there. They were actually retired right at the 12 year Tank life mark at the end of 2006.  John Simpson Photo  Ozzy Zamora Photo  Ozzy Zamora Photo -Trevor |
