They are in a state that it is not reasonable for the MTA to fix them. Why fix a transmission or engine on a 15+ year old bus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion6025 Posted July 10, 2019 Share #2314 Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) 16 minutes ago, MTAbus677 said: Why so quickly??? Because replacement buses are streaming in quickly. it lowers average bus mileage in each depot, reduced maintenance costs, results in more reliable service (well, in some cases... Not sure how the RTS vs. 2019 XD40 reliability battle is going...), and it makes the public feel good. There’s nothing to lose by shoving these hybrids out the door. — And on that note, 6429, 6436 removed from service Edited July 10, 2019 by Orion6025 Added 6429, 6436 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after Manhattanville DOB will definitely go after Fresh Pond. Since Fresh Pond may be due some Gun Hill NG’s since they aren’t enough XD40’s to spare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
