TMC RTS-06 #5990 (ex-Jamaica Bus, Inc.) was passing through while operating Not In Service, Orion 07.501 Low Floor Hybrid #3569 was on the Q60 and heading in the other direction was Orion 05.501 #5981 (ex-Green Bus Lines) was on the Q6. All buses were on Sutphin Blvd in South Jamaica, Queens.
I would have shot more of Orion 05.501 #5981 BUT the bus driver was watching us as if why we were shooting a video with his bus. Must we answer those questions? LOL!
Ive watched this video a million times and I still love it!

I knew I saw 5990 again somewhere! It's scrapped at Eastchester now. At least the back cover of the engine is off, I think I had a picture of it somewhere.

Yeah, wasnt sure about that before. I hope College Point never gets hybrids anytime soon cause thats the end of the 5.501 CNGS
