This is my last video for the year. As this year closes, more new videos will be uploaded in the New Year.
As of November 2016, the Orion V fleet in NYMTA is no more. After 18 years in service, these buses have actually surpassed their life expectancy by at least 4-5 years. They were not expected to live past 12 years because of the shoddy build quality along with the bodies & frames that have rusted out pretty rapidly over time.
These buses have been through so many places within the five boroughs, in depots like Mother Clara Hale, Amsterdam, Gun Hill, West Farms, Kingsbridge, Eastchester, Casey Stengel, College Point, JFK(for a short stint), LaGuardia(for a short stint), Castleton, Yukon & Charleston, Grand Avenue & East New York(for a short stint).
What you'll see here are a bunch of videos of the fleet in action. All of these videos were taken between 2008 and 2016. These buses were powered by a Detroit Diesel Series 50 DDEC engine with an Allison B-400R transmission.
I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Subscribe & stay tuned for more!!

[@irtunionport329]

I love the way these busses sound! Bring them back!

[@freddyc.brownjr7545]

IRT Unionport I miss them because they haul ass on the road

[@jojomyless]

I like the sound of when it deepens when at idle

[@SpearmintSerpent]

At least the Orion Vs are on the Bee-Line now. That means I still see them circling around in the Bronx sometimes.

[@freddyc.brownjr7545]

Tsutarja495 they still good condition

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

They're scrapped.

[@JuanCastillo-jq9zo]

I Really Miss Those Orion 5 Buses It's My Old Time Favorite Buses Of The MTA I Rode It On The B62 Back In 2014

[@BusTVChan]

[@thedogememesproductions6354]

[@GrowlingMotors]

0:48 Oh The Momories Or These Busses On The Bronx. When I was Little, I Wondered Why These Were Gone. Untill I Realized That They Retired.

[@jasonjohnson892]

At 7:50, 6128 has the exhast pipe style of the 1993 orion v(rebuild). Makes it almost look like a 1993 from the back.

[@nyctenthusiast3507]

This video was *GLORIOUS*
Btw I miss the orion 5s on the s79

[@gbus2569]

The Orion V in New York is the equivalent of the Renault Agora in Paris
Good job and good video

[@afrac3302]

i only rode these kind of buses in the Q39 when i was around early elementary

[@MicheyJoe]

They will be missed

[@sonicboy678]

I'm practically crying for those buses. The MTA would not let those buses run like that.

[@longmetro44l.5]

MicheyJoe i agree i only rode those on the q32.

[@freddyc.brownjr7545]

They still in the Eastchester depot as we speak

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

No they aren't. They're gone...

[@briangonzalez6432]

Always rode it on the Bx10 and Bx7

[@transportationnetwork1324]

Have u ever caught an ENY route with an Orion V?

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

Nope...it only ran at ENY for one day.

[@transportationnetwork1324]

ShaneAkACaitSith810 ok

[@trainmtachilenorman8833]

0:51 TATS WERE I LIVE

[@mike7659]

I haven't rode these a few years ago (it could be 1996 Orion v or 1999 Orion v) on the Q20A Q16

[@mike7659]

I rode these when I was in elementary in 2009-probably2012 in 2013 I usually ride Orion vii buses on Q20A

[@freddyc.brownjr7545]

Yukon Depot Got Rid Of Them But Castleton Kept There's Charleston Depot Not So Many The Last Time I Was On The 6000's It Was On The S66 And S59 They Did Get Rid Of Them They Still In Eastchester Depot As We Speak Today

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

They're all gone.

[@freddyc.brownjr7545]

Oh man seriously I thought Eastchester Depot will keep them for renumber them

[@Nelson-od9ns]

RIP Orión V 1992-2017

[@42luke93]

Now we have fake buses with no steps sadly.

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

Fake buses? Lol....

[@Nelson-od9ns]

We should bring back the Detroit diesel new buses to new flyer xn40 and xd40

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

It's not a matter of what "we" should do. It's a matter of what Detroit Diesel should do.

[@anthonywilliamson5821]

They Should have Just Overhauled Some Of these. It Would have been cheaper

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

A vast majority of them have frame rot, can't overhaul buses with frame rot or frame damage.

[@lucaskonkoski7477]

bring them back to staten island

[@GTAVProductions4]

May I use your clips plz, I‘ll give u credit

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

No.

[@skrakaayyyyy_itzyostep]

Bxm4c orion cng???

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

huh?

[@skrakaayyyyy_itzyostep]

ShaneAkACaitSith810 I think the bxm4c uses the cngs from the bee line buses

[@ShaneAkACaitSith810]

Bee Line does not use CNG buses.

[@skrakaayyyyy_itzyostep]
