Bus 1162, which was meant as the Roadeo bus for MTA Bus. Problem is, just as it came back, the Regional Bus formation became official.

Probally got sent through the bodyshop for other work (aka rear ended - that NEVER happens to a transit bus) and were given partial repaints at that time.

Thanks for the updated pics. They are really coming along.

Seems they just HAD to remove the Orion emblem before running them, though, heh. Interesting how the stripe doesn't go around the front, but it sure does go around the back!

Well these aren't repaints at all.

They took a white mask and placed it over the blue and yellow stripe, then placed the blue stripe on that white mask.

The back doors are driver operated as by Bee-Line's specifications and the interlocks work differently that a MTA spec'd bus. Either they changed that or there is gonna be a notification to the operators as to how to operate the interlocks on these doors.

I would have sent them to Ulmer Park..but that's my personnal opinion. It would ship #9087-#9110 plus #9185-#9199 out to eith LGA or FA and shipn the Orion V to Ulmer Park. Unless they can't fit..can they?

Just outta sheer curiosity, did you think about the reasoning behind wanting to seed these Orion Vs to Ulmer Park. Ulmer has never operated an Orion V, so why would you send a bus type to a facility that has yet to operate them. Doesn't it make more sense to send the Orion Vs to a facility that already is used to the bus type (i.e. JFK, Eastchester, Far Rockaway). The only Brooklyn Division Depots that operates Orion Vs are Spring Creek and Jackie Gleason. Me and You BOTH know they aren't sending these buses there because of the CNG campaign. Granted Spring Creek operates Diesel buses.

Don't let personal wants to cloud feasibility. Its not feasible to send these buses to Ulmer Park.

Here is the thing.
I'm a fan of both Ulmer park and GA depot. GA has recieved Orion VII buses and is currently getting(and will recieve) Orion NG and Designline buses.
Ulmer Park hasn't gotten new buses in a long time for local service. Some people may say that 5075-5124 that they have now is new but they are from FLatbush.
I'm just wondering if it is politics that is preventing Ulmer Park from recieving newer buses. That's all.

And another thing: What'll be done with the side signs? If nothing is done, I suppose they can work at FRK and JFK. However at ECH, all they have are routes with 4 or more characters in them (BxM6, BxM7, BxM7A, BxM7B, BxM9, BxM10, QBx1). Sticking them at BP won't work either.

(For those who are not aware, these buses have LCD side signs, similar in appearance to the side signs on R44 and R46 subway cars. The signs support 3 characters in the route portion and 15 characters in the destination portion.)

If you remember, those buses were delivered new to Gun Hill. From there, they were transferred to Flatbush.
FYI, Ulmer Park never gets new buses. I believe it has something to do with the union. I can't remember when UP got any "new from the factory" buses. I've been bus-fanning since the early to mid 1980's, and I can't recall new buses there in the past 25 years!!!

Ulmer Park got new buses in 1997. They got some of the 1997 Nova RTS-06 Semi-Suburbans brand new. They also got MCI D4500s brand new. But yes as for local buses, I can't remember anything new in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

Sightly off topic, but why do 5075-5124 have ZF transmissions in them? Do they perform better than Alison transmissions in some condtitions or something? I've been wondering this for a while now lol.

Originally 5075-5249 was suppose to have the ZF ECOMAT-2 HP-592C Transmission. But there was something about them the TA didn't like, I can't remember all the details, but they changed it back to the Allison VR-731 ATEC afterwards.

Kinda funny since they went back to ZF for the 2004 Orion 07.501 CNG Low Floors.

wait..i think i remember.
Ulmer Park had the 8000's series when they first came out. There was a arguement saying drivers were supposed to be paid more to train on the newer TMC's. Since then, the new buses don't get to Ulmer Park.
At least,that's the rumor

Well these aren't repaints at all.

They took a white mask and placed it over the blue and yellow stripe, then placed the blue stripe on that white mask.


I guess it's a testimony to how well Westchester County kept their buses. Had me fooled.

There were issues with the amount of time and training pay UP drivers got to break in on a new model since every new model is slightly different, especially in regards to the wheelchair lift.
