This bus is on its first B14 trip to Crown Heights as I type. It is remotely trackable, but has no license plates.

One order out of the way, so I hope now MTA is finally going to repower those hybrids.

LOL. I hope a cop car pulls it over. If it has no plates, I wouldn't expect a registration tag inside the bus either.

The green sign reminds me of the buses the TA ordered in the late 90s.. As soon as I saw that photo It instantly reminded me of seeing 99 Novas on the B8 in the early 2000s.

East NY is slated to get up to 7149, then Jamaica will start with 7150. Both garages are the last NYCT garages with 1996 Novas.

Sorry, you have to take care of your garages with the oldest stuff first.

You know what they say to the employees: "You'll get yours in the end".

They, along with Ulmer Park, Flatbush, and Queens Village, have buses in the 1998 batch. QV will probably get LFSs, but the Brooklyn garages will probably get Xcelsiors. But they don't need buses as badly as ENY and JAM.

FWIW, the buses in Minneapolis don't have license plates, which is rather bizarre in itself.

That said, I would be shocked if the NYPD would actually issue a ticket for no registration on a NYC Transit bus. But, stranger things have happened...

After reading Gold's post regarding the temp tag in the windshield, I take back the last part of this post (however, the Minneapolis part of this post is accurate).

It makes sense for FP and GA to have the same bus types. A lot of buses have been switch between each other since GA opened. I knew all along LFS were coming here.

thanks ! that is boring No rear window i am tire seeing these new bus they keep buying is the same thing just a bus engine on back boring plain wall, a window on back to me can make the bus more natural brighter inside during the daylight sun. hopefully the new Nova 40 foot bus they order will have the rear window like the 8000's series 8000-8089
