Yes, the 9140, 9142-9149 are gone. Also the Command Bus 32 CNG RTS were cummins I think, they are all gone also.

They have been retired since 2010...the former CNG units were retired in 2006 just before their tanks expired.

Are there many CNG Orion Vs left in the fleet? The other Saturday when I went up there, I don't think I even saw one of them.

College Point should be about a 50-50 mix between Orion V CNG's and the new C40LF's.

Thanks. I haven't seen an Orion V face to face since 2009. It's been quite a while.

The only CNG Orion Vs I've seen are the ones operated by NICE on the N22 and N24 routes that usually pass by on Hillside Avenue.
