Didn't the 1997-98 CNG Orion V's take over for the 1981 Grumman-Flxible 870s and some of the 1984 Flxible Metros, both of which had 8V71 Detroit Diesel engines?
@breberz : yeah i know LIB got rid of thiers from being used on the regular routes but i knew they still had them in their yard the last time i knew but maybe now they dont... when i rode LIB in 2005 when these buses were still around there were the ads inside the buses that said they were replacing all the diesel buses with CNG ones so since the MTA runs all the buses i think none of these run anymore anywhere in nyc
these buses were retired because of the emissions. suffolk transit is getting the new Orion VII low floor buses later this year too to replace the older ones they have. UGH buses arent made like they used to anymore! the glory days are definitely behind us
@breberz: actually i think they replaced them all bc there were ads inside the buses in 2005 that said the CNG buses to replace diesel buses project was nearly complete etc. so i think they are all gone now

thought the mta still had these buses in the yard for emergency means when buses replaced trains when trackwork and such was being done etc.? i always used to see a few 600 buses outside train stations for bus service for those who needed to ride the trains
@breberz: yes i guess it does but still those buses were in good shape. same goes for the oldes buses suffolk county transit has now that they are getting rid of. i think buses shud be retired because of thier age and condition not emissions unless theres an environment law or something that says buses can only have a certain amount of emissions, but i doubt that
@ENTERTAINMENT35: To the best of my knowledge (cuz I live in Florida now), the MTA Bus Company & MTA New York City Bus sitll have some that run regularly (with the repowered specs), bus LIB got rid of all of theirs.
