Per SubChat post, all ex-QSC Orions are retired as of February 13. 9905 (ex-473) was the last in service, on the Q66. |

Information appears to be wrong, although 9905 seems to be the only one still in service. |

This bus won't be in service for long. Is there any reason why #9905 along with #1306 are still in service? |

Alot of people are expecting the Orion V CNGs to all retire by March 9th, 2014 because of MTA Bus Time begining in Queens. However, since MTA really needs them, they might last until june. And I said MIGHT. So that's that. |
