| Besides their 2003 Orion V CNG's, are the 1999-2000 Orion V CNGs retired now? |

| I haven't spotted any 9900's in service since last fall, but I haven't been by the garage recently to confirm if they are still around. |

Update - I spotted a 9900 in service yesterday afternoon (couldn't get the number, though). I drove by the garage today and spotted four of the O5's in the yard - 9915, 9924, 9926 and 9977. All still have license plates and 9915 still has a farebox (I couldn't see the fronts of the other three buses).

| Funny how Centro's units are still in service, but MTA bus Company's as well as MTA Long Island bus's Orion V CNGs are in the process of being phased out. |

Most of Centro's units are retired. Just the last dozen or so hanging around out of the 78 buses originally bought. |

| The New York State Fair began its 2014 run yesterday, and with it Centro's annual park & ride shuttle operation is back as well. As a result, the 9900-series Orion V CNG's are back in service during the weekday rush hours. Buses spotted in service during this morning's rush included 9908, 9926, 9928, 9929, 9934, 9940, 9942 and 9948. |

| Centro's 9900-series Orion V CNG's are no more. The final 12 buses that were in the contingency fleet have been retired and put up for auction. |
