MTA Long Island Bus Orion V CNG 1515 on the N31 Sound Clip

Apparently the N31 and N32 were littered with these because 1517 came and went at Hempstead, then this one, and then 1514 showed up after I'd hopped off 1515 at Merrick Road, I was amazed!

Oh, and the outline of "277" can be seen under the 1515 stickers. Heh, its old number!

GET YOUR RIDES ON THESE BEFORE THEY'RE GONE-- TOO LATE, 1515 is now DEAD! THEY'RE ALL DEAD! BOO-HOO!

too late! all these old buses should be gone by now. you posted this August 2010 and im posting this March 31 2011. Plus i saw 1839 in Jamaica last week when i was on the train so theres at least 40 new buses in service that are replacing the last of these old ones. They have to all be gone by now.. Last time i rode these old ones was November 15, 2010, coincidentally 1515 lol

@ENTERTAINMENT35 Yeah, they're all gone, I believe 1503 is the lone duck in the bunch as of right now, a huge rarity these days... My last ride was 1519 back in January when I recorded 1802

@Spectacular66 This is probably a stupid question, but the 1802 you recorded is one of the NG's, right?

[Spectacular66]

@breberz Yes, 1802 was among the recent batch of Orion VIIs we got this year

You rode this bus during the week?

[Spectacular66]

@BJC20199 The same day I uploaded this was the same day I recorded this

Love that throw back sound

[Spectacular66]

@Jovan9603 It's kinda uncertain right now, but the ones we have remaining should stay around for another year or two, then they're gone

[Jovan9603]

When do they plan on retiring them?

@juan833blue This B/O was severely hauling ass but he slowed down after I got off because he was running hot afterwards
