Noticed this today while buy LGA depot. NOVABUS #8933 and #9248 have been FULLY repainted. Granted,they are parked in the back of the depot but they look really good. Are they expected back in service???

M15SBS-#1245-NOVABUS Artic
M60-#5970-NOVABUS Artic
Q33-#4498-Orion NG
Q49-#3725-Orion VII Hybrid
Q18-#4036-Orion NG
Q67-#3604-Orion VII Hybrid


By the way Orion V CNG #9836,#9849,#9871,#9889,#9899 and #9918 were in the depot as well.

Supposedly there is a bunch of 1996 model year RTS' which are structurally sound, IIRC about 125 have been identified internally by NYCT, worthy of another rebuild to keep them around a few more years. 9191 at LGA, is another recent one. This was mentioned some time ago on this board.

I would expect many would be assigned to MTA bus, esp. LGA.

The following RTSs from LGA have been repainted:
8796 8933 8948 8972 9191 9248 9291 9307
All of these buses have seen service.
I am sure there are other RTSs and Orion VIIs that are awaiting to be repainted as well.
8850 from JFK has been repainted as well.
