2021 Nova LFS HEVs 9755 and 9827 M7 + Novas & New Flyers in Midtown Manhattan

Here are various 2021 Volvo Group Nova Bus LFS HEVs operating on local bus routes in Midtown Manhattan. LFS HEVs 9755 and 9827 are seen in operation on the M7, with one heading northbound to Harlem-147th Street, and the other heading southbound to 14th Street-6th Ave. This is an uncommon occurrence, given that the M7 bus route is based out of Mother Clara Hale Depot, which only uses New Flyer Xcelsior XDE40s for its local fleet. To make this happen, the depot had to borrow LFS HEVs from Manhattanville Depot.
Also seen in this video are LFS HEVs 9690 (Quill) on the M20, and 9844/9852 (MHV) on the M104.
XDE40s 9579 M7, 9430 M104 and 9465 M7 are seen towards the latter half of the video. Last but not least, 2024 New Flyer XE40 5002 is seen in operation on an eastbound M66 to York Ave.
LFS = Low Floor Series
HEV = Hybrid Electric Vehicle
9620-9784 (165) are Base Order Units, while 9785-9910 (126) are Option Order units. Together, they make up the 291 bus order of LFS HEVs.
Manhattanville has around 139 LFS HEVs in its grasp at the moment.
