| Also there is just one GMC RTS in Eastchester storage, 1849 (ex-Triboro/NYCT bus). There is a sea of ex-PBL TMC RTSs in there as well. |

Bee-Line is retiring the MCI coaches already? Wow! I wonder what they will be replaced with? |

Today's update.
Fishbowls: 1484, 1490 and 1504 remain. 1504 being held for sale, the other 2 to be scrapped this week or next.
GM Classics: 1602 remains in sad shape
MCI Classics: 7341 remains.
That's all! All the GMC RTS's and CNG RTS's that were there are GONE! |

Agreed. They may look good (like every Bee Line bus), but they're showing their age. |

No, it was scrapped. It's a shame. That was a very good runner and a solid bus. |

| The Bee-Line MCIs that went early are probably not useable. I'm waiting for the ones that get pushed out by the Orions. |
