I don't think Private Transportation ever had such a thing. You might be thinking of Williamsburg Trolley, whose buses have destination signs in Yiddish:

I never realized it was an entirely different bus. What route does the Williamsburg Trolley take. Doesn't seem like yiddish to me

I don't know the route, but I've seen it around the Bedford Avenue/Lee Avenue area. It has a mechitza, unlike the B110, and I think it's a subscription service. As of 2004, the buses were "garaged" in an open lot near Flushing Avenue. One of the Gilligs was parked on 6th Street behind the Private Transportation facility a couple of months ago, probably junked.

The vov-vov ("W") and liberal use of alephs and yuds as vowels suggest that it's Yiddish, although it's really English transliterated into Yiddish.

trying to find this out. The Orion V is at Monroe Bus Corp at Park Av and Nostrand Avenue. I'm thinking this might be a ex UTA bus can't be sure. Any help is appreciated. They also have ex-PACE Orion 1 there too.
