Here we have a compilation video looking at the retired 2003-2004 Orion VII 2nd Generation CNG Units that operated under MTA New York City Transit. The video focuses on the units running on routes in The Bronx and Manhattan between the year 2013 and 2019.
The 2003-2004 Orion VII 2nd Generation CNG Units (Numbered 7685-7819) were a set of buses that ran almost exclusively under one bus depot: The West Farms Bus depot in The Bronx. With a few exceptions, almost all of the units served the West Farms Bus depot for 15 years before being officially retired on May 3rd, 2019. The buses were replaced by New Flyer C40LF, XD40, XN40, and XN60 units. Unfortunately, none of these buses has been preserved by the New York City Transit Museum.
This video mostly focuses on the buses running on Bronx routes over the past seven years.
