Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Mon Jan 20 20:16:09 2020, in response to Re: New images of Kawasaki R-211 cars, posted by randyo on Sun Jan 19 18:28:22 2020. Yes. IIRC, it was the 1993 Orion Vs. Originally numbered 93XXX (I rode 93086 on the Q48 during a visit to NY in June 1994. Was staying at the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza by LGA (now a different chain), and used the Q48 to get to the 7 to get into Manhattan (and once to get to a Mets game). Subsequently, they were renumbered into a 3-digit series (200s?)I don't think there were any other 5-digit classes, but I could be mistaken. Down here in South FloriDUH, Miami-Dade Transit has been 5 digits for years. Sequence is YYTXX, where YY = last 2 numbers of year ordered, T = type* and XX just numbers 01-99 *T codes 1, 2 - standard 40-foot buses 3 - less than 40-foot buses 4 - not used 5 - Articulated buses (60/62 foot) 6 - Not used 7 - Over-the-road coaches 8,9 - Not used Broward County Transit (BCt) has used a simple YYXX since they were formed in the 70s, but later this year they are getting in a 146 (I think) bus order from Gillig, so they will be switching to YYXXX. The first bus (20001) is already on the property, and has been painted in a new livery. Once it (or others) hit the streets, I'll try to get a pic and post here. Forgot to mention, BCT has some over-the-road coaches for their express services on I-95, I-75 and I-595. Those buses are YYXX with an "X" added after the numbers. Right now they have 1425X-1429X, 5001X-5009X and 1701X-1730X. I don't know if they have ordered any more. |
