These buses were my childhood, I grew up seeing a lot of these units from Queens Village depot on routes such as Q27, Q36, Q43, Q46 & Q88. I even saw them doing trippers on the Casey Stengel routes and I also saw these units from Manhattanville. In my opinion these OG HEVs were the best fleet of OG HEVs, I truly miss them a lot and I think about them alot.
Hearing those loud kneelers bring me back to my childhood. Only the Ogs sound like that and it reminds me of my old apartment late at night when I had my window open. Could here them all the way up on the 23rd story every night. Gonna miss these orions
These buses will be missed but not forgotten remember riding these on the Q27 Q36 and Q1 Q2 and they sounded Great also they had the traction motor or generator I believed
hoping someone doesn't take this comment out of context, I actually like the black paint on the back of these buses better than the white, idk why but it just makes it so more unique.
I'm Going To Missed The 2002-2004 Orion VII Hybrids It's One Of My Favorite Buses Of My Childhood I Used To Rided On The Q46 Bus To The Queens Farm In Queens
So hybrid buses were a thing in the US from the early 2000s? The first ones here wasn't till 2005 or so even then they didn't become mainstream till after 2012/13
Late 90s-Early 2000s for us here in NYC. We had ten Orion VI Hybrid prototype buses in 1998 and they ran for a few years, which ended up leading us to these Orion VIIs. We also had two prototype Nova Bus RTS Hybrids in 1999-2000, but were withdrawn from service due to numerous issues with those buses, along with Nova Bus leaving the US market at the time.
I like these buses a lot, I lived by these buses and I was even born right next to one(I’m actually being serious what I say that) cus I was born at the last stop for the Q46 which is Long Island Jewish Hospital.

I hate it
Got it
It’s a shame no recent buses have been preserved by the museum The OG HEVS Literally defined a generation of bus fans.

I've always liked the black paint on the hybrids. They had a more distinct look to them.

Hello my friend
I remember seeing these busses everywhere around New York City on the Q88 bus and even in Manhattan
Man, I remember making tribute videos off of these buses before they had gone off with retirement. Good times.
RIP my childhood bus, great vid!
It felt like yesterday I was seeing D60s, Orion 7 of hybrids on the daily. Wow time flies
The 2007 Orion VII has left the MTA.
I know.
I miss these buses😢. They retired in 2024(mta bus company buses)😭😭😭
You know what I mean? These old buses retired before 2020.😭😭😭
I honestly wasn’t the biggest fan of these specific hybrids, but I liked them cause of their green flip dot signs.
I was glad to have filmed a couple of these before their retirement. The will be missed.
I'm riding one of the last ones in service in Queens 10/6/2021. They will be missed, the very last slant windowed bus in the MTA 😪
I did not know Manhattanville used to operate m60 0:03
