Posted by gOlD_12tH on Fri Jan 16 23:30:31 2015 690 (40 foot) bus order
256 articulated bus order
Reason why: Orion V buses won't make it past 2016 "the Orion 1999 fleet, in particular, has proved to be expensive, unreliable, and susceptible to unrepairable structural corrosion." source: page 128-129 |

BTW, the NYC Transit artic order has been delayed again 3 or 4 times already.Current schedule: Was July 2015, being push off to December 2015 (hopefully) It looks like the remaining D60HF buses should hold up well in 2016-2017 timeframe and MTA has already at least improve the MDBF on the D60HF fleet. |

Checking the delivery schedule... New Flyer is ahead of schedule with a couple of buses in service and it should be completed by October, if not earlier.Nova bus side, still waiting for the production buses to be arrive sometime April or May and completed by April 2016. The Orion V buses could be gone by the year's end, if not by Spring 2016. |
