I got word today that the MTA may be/or have backed off this deal after all. A bus was inspected and was found to have nearly 70 cracks in its frame (post rehab) and that they may end up saving the best 200 of the EOL (End of Life) buses we currently have. If this is the case, don't count on them being CNGs as the tanks on the Orion 7 Gen-Is and Gen-IIs are nearing expiration.
Please stay tuned.
