I got hella memories of these gems. I mostly remember seeing these on the B68 and shuttles at the Stilwell av station, which was back is slants time. I tell ya the best time to catch these is with it behind a Orion 7 CNG or 1999 Orion 5 CNG. About 2012 I started seeing the new c40 at Stilwell. I was amazed by both this and its older sister interior. I did not know what was better, I soon found out the 1998 - 2000 were retiring, I was shocked. But I grown the love the newer slightly more then the elder. The interior was larger gave a cooler vibe and I absolutely loved the new LED lights and the upgrade stop requested. Rip the 801 - 989. You served NYC well. As for 181 - 672 remain strong! Best busses ever

First of all, can you stop with the gems word? Plz?

[@donkeyb2961]

My god such good memories. #900 C40lf bus was the last C40lf 2000 bus I ever rode beck in early January 2013 and coincidentally the 1st C40lf I ever rode. Thank you 900 for those memories and the rest of the batch.

#958 Was mine.

4:14 blow off valve sounds amazing. I wonder why it's more louder on CNG buses than regular diesels

[@jorgefigueroa4437]

Hi Kal El, it's very rare seen this buses without ads on the right section. I call this First New Flyers as the Brooklyners.

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

I remember I caught 801 on the Q38 when I was 5 in 2011, I was out with my mom doing shopping at Queens Center Mall

HELL TO THE YES! I love this review and was waiting anxiously for it! These are thus far the only buses I truly got to see firsthand come in new (as a 3 year old) and go out (as a h.s. sophomore). I can say the same for the Orion 7 CNGs when their time comes soon!

[@PeekaBooo23]

I was driving out Gleason when these came in brand new. They were a delight to operate. But they still couldn’t replace the RTS/Nova buses to me.

[@ajaytransitproductions]

I wish these buses still have existed.

230 is a pilot and delivered to College Point first as an MTA Bus unit. then converted to NYCTA to West Farms then to Jackie Gleason as the main stay

[@rpm_asphalt9railfanner762]

And returned to College Point Depot to this day

[@blackpit1769]

They should put the movie bus at Jackie Gleason and put it in service

[@monica012077]

Very nice. I call these shuttle buses since that's the only time they ever come my way.

I also got a chance to see #230 on a Kensington bound B67

[@dodge1515]

@@NeilQVLGA6455 I believe 1999 New Flyer C40LF CNG #823 MIGHT also still be around somewhere on Long Island. I remember reading on NYCT forums about 10 years ago that it was sold to a private owner to become a party bus. 2009 Orion 7.501 NG CNG #1751 might also still be around as IIRC, that unit was never sent to Cedar creek scrap.
