From what I understand, 5 are renumbered at this time, for integration into the NYC Transit maintenance system. The others should be renumbered later this month or early next month. |

Nice pics!As far as if all of the buses are renumbered...no. I rode 355 on the N4 yesterday and all I saw were the LIB numbered buses. |

Maintenance.All those lights will become spare parts for rear turn signals that go bad. Yes, I wanted to cry a river, too, but from a maintenance standpoint, they save money. |

I've found an easy way to determine the original number of a renumbered LI Bus. Check the license plate. Unlike PBL to MTA Bus, LI Bus keeps their "Official" license plates through the change. Also note that the number of the bus is stamped onto the license plate. Noticing this, I was able to determine that the bus now carrying the number 1626 was formerly number 389.The renumbering also appears to be a cover job, covering the old number with the new. Catch the number with the light coming from the right angle, and you'll see the old number raised a little. Reporting live from Jamaica Terminal, where Bus #1626, running on the N24, just departed, I am R36 #9346. |

Yeah like Orion 05.501 CNG #221, so whatever number represents Orion 05.501 CNG #221 has to be moved to the next number...like Orion 05.501 CNG #222. |

You are correct, this is only an example 221-1600,,,,223-1601,,,, if ,if 222 was no longer around, this an example only. |
