Title: B63 is all Orion VII CNG's now
Post by: Pacific385 on February 02, 2011, 05:11:11 pm: As real time tracking hits the B63, I've noticed something and the trackers support it [checked a few times]. If you check it out, there are no Orion V's or C40LF on it. Good or bad?

anyway it all depends on what the drivers decide to pull out of the depot; AFAIK there are no rules concerning specific models of buses allowed on the B63 so it can be anything that the gleason depot has (orion 5, orion 7 and c40)

Post by: Pacific385 on February 04, 2011, 04:00:04 pm: Well, my school usually has 7 B16 Shuttles, and 1 B63 Shuttle

For some weird reason, there were 3 B16 Shuttles and 1 B63 Shuttle.

That B63 shuttle was a C40LF So Dman1455 is probably right

If it's all Orion VII CNGS, The C40LF's / Orion V's might go to the B4,B9,B11,B16,,B61,B67/69 [one of them got eliminated; I'm not sure],B70
