Thats odd, there should have been some spares at Inter County, based on my info, unless they have some breakdowns that need some repairs out of the yard.I know all or most of the older buses (Pre-2005) are gone, though i have been told 9918 is still there. |

Orion marketed as 30 ft, the overall length is little more then 32.5 ft.Most bus builder dont build exact length... Gillig, for example: their smallest size is 30 ft, but they marketed as 29 ft, I dont know why... |

Ah, i wasn't aware that Orion marketed it as 30ft, i just assumed they would have marketed it how ever long they made it.I wasn't aware Gillig marketed their 30ft buses as 29ft buses. |

I would assume since December, since thats when i had 1052 on the S63.But you are right this is the first reported sigting of the bus, and could have just been delivered. I just asked because i had thought that there was something you noticed about the bus that i didn't, that made it look like it had recently been delivered. |

However i'd bet that they have been delievered, its just nobody has been in the position to see them.It should be 1041 - EBT 1044 - Inter County 1075 - Hampton Jitney |

Then there's lack of Stop Request buttons on all poles except the very one.Honestly, why dont they [even MTA] configured it like this when you can get the cord hanging top to bottom easier for the people who cant reach on top...  from: http://www.flickr.com/photos/billonthehill2001/ |

The Front seats are lower then the back, so maybe they couldn't get it to be fair for both so they left it one way and made the the side cords for easier reach for those sitting in the front? |
