9874 has gotten its farebox removed...

Well it's good that these buses are leaving, they had no business being in the MTA in the first place. After being in the MTA after 3-4 years the engines are sounding horrible showing off their true age.

The ex-Triboro and Green Bus Lines RTS's weren't in the best shape neither, so they pretty much have served their purpose...

..ironically many of the 1996 Novas LGA has were breaking down recently (a lot of them wouldn't start up at all)

Ok folks and so it starts.....130 O/S SCRAP farebox/radio removed....

Or do you mean "and so it continues" lol

Service Change Posted: 02/24/2013 10:05AM 

Due to a police investigation at 23 St, southbound  trains are running on the  Line from 5 Av-53 St to W 4 St.

Southbound  trains are running on the  line from 59 St-Columbus Circle to W 4 St.

There is no  train service in both directions at this time

Expect delays on ,  and  train service at this time. 

If anyone was wondering why there's CNG buses working LGA routes. Apparently, there's a shortage of approximately 20 buses, so yesterday, CP sent out some of their Orion V CNG's to LGA for use on their routes. You might see a few parked at the depot, but they are still assigned to CP and fueled at CP. I've got this info from my friends who work out of LGA.

Following an earlier incident at 90 Street-Elmhurst Avenue,  train service has resumed with residual delays.

Even if they are providing shuttle buses they shouldn't say so, as that would result in people knowing they're there and using the limited capacity.

Wait until you see this...

So far i've seen LG, CP, JA, CS and QV helping out on the shuttle buses..good thing CS whipped out their artics for the shuttle buses..it's traffic hell over here at roosevelt av..

Expect LGA to lose the QM24/25 to CP by the next pick or the following...got word from a B/O who works out of LGA..

That's interesting. Why not other C40LFs, or some other CNG?

`considering there's about 7 CNG buses in system reserve storage. But then again, that's the MTA to you lol

I'm sure you recall something BStyles showed several posts ago...

If they are EOL buses then they deserve to be at the scrap yard. We don't need no more EOL or hand me down buses from NYCT.

If it works and can get me to point B, i'll take it.

i've noticed how the newer buses have the speakeasy units but i rarely ever see them in use for the external announcement, although today my B/O friend did make use of the speakeasy for the external announcement.

From pictures I see and buses I take, lga buses don't look any worse than other buses around the system. I really am not seeing what you guys are seeing...

Is the R62 Gonna stay for the next couple of weeks or leave after the SMS is done?

it's there to stay.

The openbve mirror is still up we're just dealing with domain name issues..

The CNGs can't stay at FR, since when to they have CNG? I guess it would make sense to assign the O5s to FR for now though, since SC doesn't seem to be using them at all on their own routes.

you might have forgotten FR's buses are at JFK for the time being, and there happens to be a CNG facility near JFK Airport...

I saw a set that involves 7841 at East 180. Is it awaiting CBTC installation or what......

 

Testing....

Here's what i've been up to lately...

Just a few simple requests:

Model: New Flyer C40LF

Year: 1998

Unit Number: 801

Division: MTA Bus

Line: Q66 Flushing Main St Sta

Model: TMC RTS CNG

Year: 1993/94

Unit Number: G2069

Company: Triboro Coach Corporation

Line: Q53 Express

Model: OBI Orion 1.509 CNG

Year: 198X-199X

Unit Number: 901

Company: Command Bus Company

Line: BQ5 Bay Ridge

This is pretty strange why would CS finally get D60HF's especially the 1300's. It would of made more sense for them to get more LFSA's or maybe test the XD60's. Did they really retire 639 and 647 because I just saw one of those buses a few days ago.

 

Apparently, Trevor later posted this two hours later after the roster was updated:

1305-1306 is at CS, but there is mystery surrounding what they actually are, holding off on a final report. There is a mix up whether they are D60HFs or Orion Vs.....I know, I know Give me a few hours to get a solid confimation on the bus type.
