Holy shit man's actually made a 3G review

[@NeilQVLGA6455]

Yessir Kal-El! I remember seeing the Orion VII 3Gs on the Q27 and Q88 back in my days!

[@Trxustze]

Can we get a OG HEV on the B44 SBS?

I love your reviews my guy! You should review some of NJTransit’s bus fleet too, as they do reach NY as well. Keep doing what you’re doing Kal 😃

[@stillnitro]

Great way to start of 2022! Love the videos bro!! 👑👑

[@sethmtanyct]

Interesting video. These buses are alright. Good video and review, and happy new year's!

[@danielsamuels5857]

Nice to see you again. What's next? The Orion Vs or TMC RTS buses of the NYC Private Lines?

[@kalelc1996]

You'll have to wait and see 😉

[@yankeesforlife24]

I’ve driven both 2nd gens and 3rd gen orions in upstate New York. While I don’t like the look of the 3rd gens boy do they fly and sound great.

Happy New Year . And Happy Belated Birthday Bro. And Thank's for doing a Orion Vll Third Gen's Bus review. Did you remeber when MTA had gotten when they where Brand New Queens Village Ulmer Park and Staten Island had gotten them and The MTA had took them away from Brooklyn and Queens and left them alll in Staten Island. But Nice Bus still has there Orion VII C.NG Thrid Gen's. Witch is on point 👉 Bro !!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kalelc1996]

Hey thanks man happy New Year to you too. When the 3g's came around I wasn't really in the loop that much cuz I was going through some stuff at the time and I was really late coming onto them

#1840-1884 are easily my favorite buses at NICE right now, followed by the 2011 NG CNGs.

Wish MTA Ordered more of these than the Clusterfucks of Xcelsiors. Curse Orion for closing their doors

I know it might be hard to do but by any chance could you do a review for a bee-line 🐝 fleet like the Neoplan my favorite fleet for instance or even a Nj transit fleet like the Nabi.

[@kalelc1996]

I can try but it may take a while

[@dodge1515]

Some of those flooded O7s are being worked on at this time, so this list may change in the coming months/years...

Only 2 (7047 and 7049) are at Eastchester Scrap Yard

No they don’t these are the predecessor to the 2012-2019 seats on most of mta buses

The 3rd Gen's are staying at Castleton till their eventual retirement. MTA Bus won't need them since they are getting a completely brand-new fleet of 40-footers in the coming years. The MTA is investing heavily into making sure MTA Bus' fleet is all up to date.

[@dodge1515]

@@BrIaNMeRcY1022 And MTA bus company certainly deserves a new fleet. The current fleet is not bad like it was 15 years ago, but it needs an upgrade.

[@BrIaNMeRcY1022]

@@dodge1515 This is why the MTA wants to make investments on MTA Bus' fleet. Upgrading their fleet instead of giving them hand-me-downs from OA/TA. You can't rest on your laurels forever.

Honestly i dont like these, the original windows looked way better, the new windows suck on these, if they made those curved windows, at least make them look like that of the NG (what the 3G hybrids have)
