UlmerPark B6 Posted July 25, 2008 Share #201 Posted July 25, 2008 Hopefully, MTA will have the price of the bus dropped now. You pay more for a newer system, not the same for an older one....... i agree 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share #204 Posted August 22, 2008 Ok so there may be some truth to 3802 being at CAS. The buses have finally passed the audit inspection and are being delivered as of right now. The first 17 buses will be here over the next 2 weeks. Several of them have already begun their trip from upstate NY. They will head over to Jersey before being deliverd to Zerega. Some of which are already there. So the big Question..... Is 3802 here???? I don't know about the number for sure, but it is definitely an NG. And as I stated earlier, this first lot will have the old battery packs on the roof. Happy Hunting!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted August 22, 2008 Share #209 Posted August 22, 2008 and brooklyn That too, I would love to see NGs on the S61 & 79 routes. Plus the fact that Yukon is getting those 300 series orions.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw SI, they keep screwing over other boroughs by taking the good buses. Give them to the KB, GH and UP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted August 22, 2008 Share #211 Posted August 22, 2008 Screw SI, they keep screwing over other boroughs by taking the good buses. Give them to the KB, GH and UP KB most of all, UP has the 3rd most ridership on B6 and the buses keep on going to shops and braking down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share #212 Posted August 22, 2008 It has now been confirmed. 3802 is in SI and pics will be posed shortly by Pablo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIR North Shore Posted August 22, 2008 Share #213 Posted August 22, 2008 I was on the S96 yesterday afternoon, and saw 3802 sitting right there in the front next to some O5s. And just a few hours ago, Trevor got this shot of it! http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=112438 Screw Castleton, bring those babies to yukon!!!!! I pass on that one. The CAS routes need more variety because all it has is 1999 Orion Vs and nothing else. At least when I ride the YUK routes, there's a chance it could be a '93 O5, Nova, TMC, or '99 O5. The only Yukon route I would like to see the NGs on is the S44. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted August 22, 2008 Share #214 Posted August 22, 2008 Mm, you have a point. Castleton could use some variety. I'd like to see some buses go via the verrazano bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted August 23, 2008 Share #215 Posted August 23, 2008 Someone mentioned that it has the "old" battery pack on the top (and I see, it does)... what would the "new" ones look like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIR North Shore Posted August 23, 2008 Share #217 Posted August 23, 2008 Mm, you have a point. Castleton could use some variety. I'd like to see some buses go via the verrazano bridge. The S53 is a CAS route and runs over the Verrazono Bridge. The S53 was the first CAS route to have the Level II O5s, so I wouldn't be surprised if the O7s start off on the S53. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted August 23, 2008 Share #218 Posted August 23, 2008 Ahhh so it is a CAS route, didnt know that. Also according to subchat 3809 & 3817 are @ Zerega, along with Orion VI 6355 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q43 Floral Park Posted August 25, 2008 Share #221 Posted August 25, 2008 I want to ride one of these buses but... there's no way I'm trekking out to SI for that. I'm not an SI person. I'll just wait for them to show up in E. Queens or the Bronx (the latter meaning I'll be waiting till at least 2010) lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted August 25, 2008 Share #222 Posted August 25, 2008 Staten Island would actually be a good place to start, knowing how fast some bus routes go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43 Floral Park Posted August 25, 2008 Share #223 Posted August 25, 2008 Staten Island would actually be a good place to start, knowing how fast some bus routes go. That may be true but may favorite routes run out of KB (Bx3 and Bx10). In order for me to even get to SI I'd have to take the Q43/46, the , the , the ferry and then have to find out which route the NG O7 was on. I'm a busfan but I'm lazy . Hopefully before June 09 they'll be in my neck of the woods 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted August 31, 2008 Share #224 Posted August 31, 2008 As per subchat, Four NGs are @ Castleton, with two in service on the S40 and S57. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
