Posted by gold_12th on Mon Jan 1 13:54:42 2018 Suffolk Transit in NY is auctioning off a couple high mileage Orion VII buses, very unusual for a transit agency to do. https://www.copart.com/lot/50187347 https://www.copart.com/lot/50187517

Suffolk has always Auctioned off all their old buses and vehicles. What is unusual is that they are using Copart.com.

BUT: Sunrise Coach has 2 Fishbowls (with rear, custom retrofitted freight compartments) from around 1960 that ran for about 21-22 years. They used 2 buses to cover 4 round trips a day between Greenport and EH.. Can never beat them for durability.
