    Yes but why buy suburban buses knowing what they're in for...
  2. Orion VII 4 Life
    They actually got suburban seat buses? Those are gonna go to hell quick... But maybe this could be NICE trying to set up some kind of actual express bus service?
  3. Orion VII 4 Life
    The last one they had buses coming all the way from Yukon and not even just MCIs.

    The plates go in the name of the city/county/"main" agency, not a sub agency of the government like NICE or the DOT. All plates for city agencies say "City of NY" and all plates for the MTA have MTA on them, whether its LIRR NYCT MTA Bus or whoever. It's funny how at first NYCTs plates came as "City of NY" then they finally got it's a MTA not city agency and gave them MTA plates.

    The "City of NY" plates some of our new buses got are all now switched out for MTA plates AFAIK.

    But Mangano promised Veolia would do the same job as the MTA or more for $2 million a year!

    Hmm... does Transdev or Academy still have any left?

    Weird but the X17 is being run out of Yukon right now. Charleston seems to be open and running the S74 & S78.

    Looks like MHV is helping with the M15, every bus out on it is MHV. Could be put ins off the M5 at the ferry IDK

    I hear NJ plans to keep service suspended through Thursday. Gonna be interesting to see what the MTA does for us into tomorrow...
  12. Orion VII 4 Life
    Glad I'm not out there this week...makes me wonder what the MTA will do into tomorrow though
  13. Orion VII 4 Life
    I can see MCH & Quill doing some put ins, question is how much can they put in? Last year there was days when 126 couldn't put out that many artics at all and the local M15 was nearly all RTS & hybrid with a sh*tload of missing SBSes.
  14. Orion VII 4 Life
    126 would use 1200s but never the D60s. Now with MJQ anything goes, the 5800s from the M34 are out there in full force and they run the 5900s on the M34 too.
  15. Orion VII 4 Life
    Anyone know the exact runs Castleton has on the X17A?
  16. Orion VII 4 Life
    Why are we fighting over this, holy shit! It's a NYC subsidized line that happens to go into Yonkers but is meant to primarily serve the Bronx (inb4 Riverdale is not the Bronx), otherwise the city wouldn't be paying for it.
  17. Orion VII 4 Life
    I don't think they're gonna put the artics away during the snow this year. Everything looks usual save for a few Orion Vs & hybrids on the Q44 and Q10 that happen every day anyway.
  18. Orion VII 4 Life
    Point is they lasted longer (not on our streets) than the 6000s and their retirement started way before the first 6000s started going from Grand Ave to scrap
  19. Orion VII 4 Life
    Yeah everyone's gonna be like "oh the Bee Lines are 18 and still here why are the 6000s going"...remember they were at BEE LINE most of their life and Liberty Lines takes VERY good care of their buses. The 6000s were here their whole lives and for the most part not at our best depots either.
  20. Orion VII 4 Life
    I gotta check that out next time I'm out there, getting home with an express bus to Newark Penn then PATH sounds much better than a crush loaded 111 and that tunnel traffic...
  21. Orion VII 4 Life
    Saw all 3 in a convoy at Woodhaven & the Blvd. before.
  22. Orion VII 4 Life
    You do understand what kind of facilities are on Randalls Island right...
  23. Orion VII 4 Life
    Saw they took Q58 trippers from CS off the roster, not true just saw 417x on it before.
  24. Orion VII 4 Life
    Is it an express run??
  25. Orion VII 4 Life
    MTA has their own tows too
