ENY ran those 4900's into the ground... JAM actually took better care of there 4900's
IMO I liked FLA 5000's and 5100's
They we're clean
ENY only cared for the 5200's when they did have them
94&9500's... Especially those 9500's from QV
Hmmm... Me living right near JFK Depot I'm surprised I haven't seen an oddity on the Q7 yet... So it is true then they are starting to spread the artics around now...
Have you seen any going towards 165th Terminal tho ?
It's a slow move but still happening none the less
What I'm tryna understand is how is QV also losing the 6400's.... What are they getting back for that ?????
Catch a 1999 Orion V at night and see how it flies the route... An overnight hawk run
I've caught 6100's and 6200's that have breezed up Main St before
Lol that's because the 05's are fresh meat... They just got fixed up so they are running well... I wouldn't be surprised if they are the fastest things in Bklyn right now
Where did you hear this ?
If they move those then what do they get in return ?
It does make sense to move them considering the fact they've been there since day one anyway....
Hmmm maybe the NGs are the replacements eventually
Don't they already have something like that already....
I'm pretty sure I've heard " the next manhattan bound express train is now arriving on the express train plz stand away from the platform edge " played at Queens Blvd stations
For example: Roosevelt Ave... Queens Plaza etc
That 63xx was ONLY repaired there to my knowledge... I don't think it ever saw service out of Casey Stengal.. I could be wrong but I haven't seen it out since they had it...
I'm saying what I heard from a friend IN Jamaica Depot... Problem ?
Get off my d*** ciboii22.... All I'm doing is passing along info... That I hear to on to others
It's all a mileage swap... That would explain why the 4900's are finally being bumped to Bklyn...
Remember in 99... QV had the 4900's... JA had 5100's
when the 1st batch of Hybrids came in 6400's went to QV... nd eventually the 4900's went to JA...
With that happening JA lost those 9500's they had too remember
So basically what will end up happening is UP will end up with the entire 4900's series
All 98 buses (4941 was scrapped ) with 5000's JA had as well with there own 5000's and a few 5100's in there as well
QV bumps out ZF's (8015-8089) to JA
Takes NG 07 (4453-4482) from JA
QV takes all 1997 Novas from UP
Averages out everybody's fleet and fits in the scheme of buying more time til NEW buses come in
I seen it PM rush... 5ish-6ish last night
It's not an even swap tho.... JA are losing those NGs...
There's NOT enough 97 Novas to cover the loss of LFS's to JA
NG's and Novas to QV...
Novas to UP...
JA gets LFS's
Jamaica still ends up short unless they aren't sending ALL 49xx's to UP...
