The best course of action if they can't get every 40-footer fixed and operational, the TA could keep about an additional 20-25 Next Gen's in service from the current New Flyer/Nova Diesel/Hybrid orders. The 20 LFS' Castleton is slated to receive is likely to transfer some of their LFS' to Jamaica so JAM could further displace their Xcelsior's. I read years ago, JAM is earmarked to be an all Nova LFS depot. The complete retirement of the 3rd Gen Orion VII's won't happen till 2024-2025. They will hit the legal retirement age at the end of 2023. I do not expect the 375 Electric Bus order coming in at 2024 at the earliest. The 714 Standard bus order is likely going to be amended. Those buses would largely be designed to retire the 2011-2013 New Flyer C40LF's and the 2014-2015 New Flyer XD40's. For now, I am just focused on the bus orders that are rolling in right now.

Ain't it a little early to retire #7090-7483? The vast majority of those are only 5-6 years old.. I would think that the 270 BTE buses from 2011-2012 (including the 3G 7s) would be slated for retirement next. Question is, will some of that 700+ bus order include new CNGs?

@@dodge1515 The MTA is making sure they have funding from the 2020-2024 Capital Plan to purchase newer buses to retire the older fleet. The MTA is known for doing this. The Base Order 2021 New Flyer XDE40's and 2021 Nova LFS-HEV's was funded from the 2015-2019 Capital Plan. The MTA is trying their hardest to keep buses from being in service 14-20 years. Those 714 standard bus order will likely be amended as the months/years progress. I am not too worried about all that. My main focus is the current New Flyer/Nova orders for OA/TA.

You obviously know I fanned the 3G CNGs from NICE for almost 6 years of my life, now it’s time for me to move on to Staten Island. SPEAKING OF 3Gs… I got word that by 2022-2023 the 3G CNGs May begin retirement in NICE so get clips of ALL the Orions in NICE!

The 3G CNGs can't legally retire come 2023 because they won't turn 12 till 2024. Most likely, it will be the 2010-2011 Orion 7.501 NG CNGs going by then (#1800-1839).

Staten Island's vulnerability to flood damage has been known since at least Sandy if not before. The fact that water can easily kill any motor vehicle has been a known fact since I guess the invention of a motor vehicle. The inability of Castleton honchos to connect these two pieces of information and protect their fleet is now crystal clear. Any planned retirements or resignations among the honchos' "fleet"?
