If ENY is getting GA's current hybrids I predict FP is keeping what they currently have.But we'll just have to wait till the entire order is in especially since we have to see exactly what GA is giving up and what Jamaica will give up later since they're getting more NG's later. |

Casey Stengel has 66 Orion V's in the 456-630 number range. That's too many. I feel that most of these are in worse shape than the 8600's.And NYCT/MTA bus has a lot of stuff older than those 8600's (not counting the remaining 1990/91's which should be gone soon). 8400's/8500's abound. I'm sure some are better than the 8600's and some are worse. Perhaps when all is said and done, 8400's/8500's/8600's/few 8700's should be treated as one fleet with the worst retired and the best retained. |

I give you props, cuz I sure would've lost track ages ago... just when you think you know what buses will be moved, :snap: the MTA brass changes their minds. |

Spotted 6617 on the B83 heading towards Bwy Jct last night. I had to do a double take as I thought a B20 was pulled for that run. Then I realized 6617 was from GA..... |

Also got to ride RTS 9331 on the b82 and that bus sounded great especially the parts the driver got to speed up on on Kings Highway b/w Flatbush and Ocean Av. |
