All Activity

hi guys. i applied this year and paid the application fee. they told me the test date is 5/17 but got no email of test confirmation and date yet... its less than a month away??? is the test all multiple choice??? how much time do i get and how many questions??? any advice on how to prepare for it??? i heard the signs and some terminology were tough...like either u know it or u dont n will have end up guessing.

The spare factor is too low. All the R46s are needed right now, just to hold down service. Otherwise you’d be seeing daily R160 stints on the Broadway Line for the during the morning rush since the R46s are barely holding on.

After more than a year due to a legal hold, 9524 from East New York has returned back to service. Ran on the B14 a moment ago.

Wow

Yes.

XE40s?

Click on the “180 Livingston has moved” banner at the top of the page, everything that you need is in there.

I think it’s because once the units listed on here were on the first page update, that means that it’s no longer in NYCT/ MTA Bus system and that we know it’s a done deal for some. But, numbers do revive on time being like 5011 and 5012 as New Flyers as they are at JFK vendor.

Why not? It's a good idea. At least you'll know when the buses actually leave the property.

After reading through the latest on the R211 I can't understand how they haven't pulled cars for retirement or at least tranfer.

awesome thanks!

This means 350/535 R211s are built!

Thank You!

You should go down there tomorrow. You would be surprised what happens when your there face to face.

I can pretty much say that up to 4349 and 140 is within the facility. Bare in mind the Lincoln production duration ranges between 3-6 months and the shells from Kobe come in at a rate of about 3-4 per week to bi-weekly if any delays which can be random. The facility can only house a capacity with about 70-100 cars at max, inside and out to what I was told. 140 just came into the receiving line actually. The production for the base order is excepted to be completed by the end of the year latest to get the green lit for the option cars receiving in January 2025. With the R44SIR finally getting processed to be scrapped, the pilot is coming closer to debut, actual has to be announced by the MTA themselves. Actually consists are as follows: 4090-94 + 4115-19 4095-99 + 4135-39 100-04 still idle at Saint George Terminal (TK 11) 105-114 still at Yonkers and 115-140 are built as of today.

You can bring the text that you have on your phone and a government issued id.

I got the text of the date and time of the exam, still no email or admission letter yet though, should the text be good enough to take the exam?

Complete waste of time & money. Microtransit won't work for routes like the 12 or 32.

9298-9299 also delivered to LGA

Seems like the microtransit ideas from the redesign will be going through, as it's been signed off and awaiting FTA approval. This is a pretty big indication that the redesign will be happening as is. (the cost is per million)

All CLs are actively under Wayne as of 4.18.24 2006s: 9001, 9004, 9006, 9009-9011, 9015, 9017, 9019-9021, 9025-9028, 9033, 9036, 9038, 9051 2008s: 7130, 7132, 7144, 7147, 7154, 7156, 7158, 7160, 7162

This is a hell of a long list but great job!

Oops😅just noticed.

No. That was 9295 that was mentioned back then. 9292 was at the JFK vendor during the time the user posted 9295 delivered at the depot.

Also if anyone has questions about the job, Id be happy to answer them.
