These past few weeks I been seeing hybrids on the B42 and B83, normally these routes were 100% RTS for whatever reason. Now all of a sudden hybrids are poping up on these two routes. I got a pic of one of hybrids on the B83...

Photobucket


P.S 5091 is back at UP..

Actually, the real surprise is the B17. They had been running on all ENY routes BUT the B17 for some reason, but they are now showing up on that line.

I've seen Hybrids on the B83 before...like at the 2008 Bus Rodeo. My friend and I took the Belt Pkwy and I saw Orion 07.501 Low Floor Hybrid #6839 BOUNCING entering the Belt Pkwy and heading towards Gateway Mall.

The B17 though is new for hybrids; I had not seen them there for a while.

An VII hybrid bouncing? That would have been a sight to see. Whenever I ride an hybrid on the 103 on 4th ave those things never bounce while the CNGs bounce like crazy.

WTF? They been running on the B83!?!?!? Whenever I fanned that route since they came in it was always 100% RTSs (I'm not compaining... lol) Didn't know that these things have been running on the B83. Why weren't they running on the B17?

I don't know. IIRC sometimes depots loan buses to other depots to make service and then when its not needed anymore it comes back to its assigned depot. However when I seen it back at FLA it had FLA stickers though.
