  1. 9400 was at FB for maintenance along with 5095. Due to UP & FB being pretty close they occasionally do that. 51xx at eastchester? Can anyone confirm I just saw 5185 a few days ago?
  2. 5061 in minor accident while making the left onto ave R back left of the bus not much damage.
  3. I believe 9400 & 5095 are at flatbush for maintenance & 4951 back at flatbush on the b41
  4. 5095 & 9400 from ulmer park are parked in flatbush since last night not sure why their at flatbush.
  5. Those were weird loans. Usually UP loans from FB. Anyone know what's going to happen at GA & FB when there Xd's come in. Will they overcrowd like at UP?
  6. Wow UP with 264 buses I didn't know they can hold that much. Anyone know what happen to 5100 it's not on their roster?
  7. FB may have had an XD40 in as well saw one parked in the yard a few days ago. Xd's might be the new face of brooklyn after the rts retire
  8. Up maintenance isn't up to par I understand their fleet isn't as new but when FB gave them the 96xx's about 2 years ago they weren't as beat. they loan so many buses from flatbush due to all their rts oos.
  9. Rode 7142 on the b3 yesterday. Up decals. Also flatbush had a XD parked in the lot earlier this morning.
  10. 7142 revenue service on the b3 as of right now. Not much different between the 2011 Xd's.
  11. UP isn't bad I understand they don't get the best buses but look at the 5000's they've had for a while now compared to FB 5000's. Most senior operators at UP prefer the Rts. It seems like UP is where most Rts will go before they retire or head to MTA Bus.
  12. The rts at UP do not get a break once a trip is over & they pull in another operator pulls out with that bus in the next 5-10 mins due to buses OOS. Ulmer park maintenance is not up to par. The 9600s they got from flatbush about 2 years ago were in solid condition now look at them. UP isn't even a high mileage depot.
  13. Ulmer park has more RTS but do to age on UP RTS they break down and flatbush usually loans them a few RTS but Flatbush is a bigger depot with longer lines so they need more RTS.
  14. Not a dumb statement i said i would rather 5000-5010 retire at ENY
  15. It would of been nice for 5000-5010 to retire at ENY. 97's moved out of flatbush so quick. I wonder What's going to happen with the rts at flatbush when their new bus orders come in. Flatbush has been an all rts depot for a long time despite having ng's in 08.
  16. No not for maintenance ENY GA mostly do maintenance in the brooklyn division
  17. A few ENY RTS parked in Flatbush's lot on Avenue N 5004-5005 could be more ENY 5000 series heading to Flatbush.
  18. 5138 & 5149 both back at flatbush on the b46 yesterday with GA & FB decals
  19. Thanks for that info you are right Flatbush is way bigger in square feet 244,000 and Ulmer 118,000
  20. Which depot is bigger Flatbush Or Ulmer? IMO flatbush
