And the ONLY reason why the JG 1995 Orions might have outlasted them is because the JG Orion Vs aren't subject to nearly as much use/abuse in Brooklyn as the 1996 Novas in the Bronx (The only JG routes you might find heavy use is the B35 and maybe the B8, the Bronx as a majority is fully of high-ridership routes with heavy abuse)...Walnut's high-use routes historically included the Bx4, Bx5, Bx15, and Bx19 Kingsbridge's historically included the Bx1/2, Bx7, Bx9, Bx41, Bx55, and M100 Gun Hill's historically included the Bx12, Bx22, Bx39, Bx40/42, and most if not all the Co-op City lines... Much potential for buses to be driven down to the ground, especially if not maintained properly. Most of the time, the buses never got cosmetically maintained is because once the bus gets driven to the ground and taken into the shop to get fixed, all of the fixings get unfixed by the same use and abuse that warranted a shop fix in the first place, so it didn't make sense, almost fostering a lax work ethic....but I'd be damned if those buses didn't run and take the abuse... Got me where I needed to go all the years I was living in The Bronx... |
