ᴴᴰ NICE Bus: 2004 Orion V CNG In Action on the N4 Bus

Here we have clips of NICE bus Orion V CNG taken in the summer of 2018. These buses is now sadly retired as of February 2019. Literally going to miss the best amazing sounding buses MTA NYC/Bus Company & NICE/MTA Long Island Bus had. Was born around the time Triboro Coach, Queens Surface & Command Bus was still here before MTA Bus Company took over & when MTA Long Island Bus was still around. #1668 & #1699 of NICE was Ex-MTA LI Bus.

I miss this bus, I loved the engine sound and the ding with the announcement "the next major stop is.." 🔥

[@kidfly2712]

Why is it always the best sounding getting retired in the beginning of 2019

[@42luke93]

All the legendary buses in New York retired in the beginning of 2019.
Now it is boring and no variety between high and low floors.

These buses will always the forefront of the Long Island Bus Division. I loved how you followed that bus from Parsons/Archer to Freeport to catch this piece of nostalgia, but, nonetheless, nice video.

If I'm correct that bus was originally 399 under Long Island bus the bus with the John Deere motor the only one in the fleet with that engine

1:15 SHEEEEESH that engine rumble sounds awesome. I wish me and my family go to those parts of Queens at the time.

Orion V CNG’s are now rare in the US. Not too many transit agencies have them.

[@traintraveler32]

Yup.

I heard NICE still holds on to some of their orion 5 cngs as trainers and the rare bus to pick up on days with bus shortages....I hope that's true

[@Sylveonkpopnyct]

They dont. All of them stay in Rockville Centre depot

[@edwinpenafort8750]

Will one of the retired Orion V CNG buses be preserved for the museum fleet?
