				Very nice photo tribute to buses from one of my favorite depots, JG.
 
When you think about it,  NYCT Orion V CNG's really are "rare birds".
 
Although MTAB and LIB have large numbers of these units on their rosters, NYCT's fleet numbers only 30 buses, operating out of a single depot. Considering how large the NYCT bus fleet is, a 30-bus fleet is pretty small (perhaps only the NF Vikings are more unusual and a smaller fleet). |

				The ex-PACE Orion I can be found at the Monroe Bus Garage at Park Av and Nostrand Av. They provide service to/from Manhattan, though Monroe Bus Service denied providing said service.
 
 
Also, on the Orion Vs used by Private Transportation (except for #201), the seat resemble those seen on NYCT and Bee-Line transit buses |
