JFK Depot

Most likely would be the 5100s.... Since those never left Queens

I get it now... 8094-8119 to Jamaica 8120-8123 to join its counterparts in Staten Island The rest of the 8000s to QV...

QV is setting themselves up for a major overhaul real soon.... 6400s gotta go soon 2011 LFS 8070-8089 is 20 buses 2015/16 LFS8090-8093 8399-8480 is 85 buses Your math is WAY off that's 105 LFS's QV has 2011 LFS 8000-8016/ 8018-8069 which is 69 buses 2015/16 8481-8503 which is 23... Altogether that's 92 As far as 8094-8123 those are accounted for and when ENY has enough RTS's to where they can send off Jamaica's buses they will I wouldn't be surprised if those 5100s in Eastchester end up in East NY

It's a slap for now but someway somehow UP will eventually end up with something newer down the line...

How about a Jamaica Light Rail... Could go down Merrick to Hook Creek

7613 is on the 2 overnight G.O. right now as we speak

JG ? Or WF ?

Whoever reported that Baisley Park has started to receive XD60s That's totally false I just went thru there myself and seen None on the bay's... Or side lots or front apron There are NO XDs on property yet...

QV isn't the ONLY depot in eastern Queens my friend Jamaica will still have 99 Novas... So as long as they have them... You'll still see RTS's in Eastern Queens smh

The stop placements are fine... Its LIMITED in JAMAICA It's meant to fly thru Jamaica.... Now MY issue with the BOTH Limiteds are that they run back to back Which makes NO sense in my eyes The headway for both buses are 10mins... Give or take each leaving a min or 2 early or later than the other.... That right there messes things up... That needs to be spaced out... If a 114 leaves at 1:00... That 113 shouldn't leave until 1:06... The elimination of the short trip 137/140th Q111 just added on runs to the Farmers Trip That's NOT going anywhere It's actually more frequent now that they added those runs... It's the Rosedale Q111 that's seeing the lack 1. Linden/115 and Foch Blvd. Each stop stop serves its purpose Linden/115 most drivers changes happen THERE thus being in front of the depot 2. Farmers and 147th. Farmers should be self explanatory but if it isn't Here's the reason "Q3 JFK Airport" 147th is for those that live in the shelters and work over back towards Rockaway and the Post Office /DMV area

Don't be so quick to say that... 97-98 RTS days are numbered... But 1999 Novas will still run on Jamaica Streets alil while longer as long as Jamaica has them

My first question would be do any of y'all ride the Q114 Frequently ? As a South Jamaica Queens resident I happen to ride these Guy R Brewer Routes everyday and Q114 NEEDS to stay.... It's helped ALOT on the Blvd... The Q114 serves its purpose It's the for those that live in the backblocks of Inwood Cederhurst and Lawrence... The Q113 bypasses all of that by taking Nassau Expwy but you still have that demand for those people who aren't actually going to Mott... I wouldn't change anything with the Q114... What they can do is turn the short trip Q111 to Farmers into its own route as well... Q115 to Farmers Blvd... Wouldn't run 24/7 more like 15/7 but it would help greatly and would also help separating lines... Giving that Farmers line it's own identity

I don't know if this was reported or nah but I saw 8472 last night on the Q4 at Parsons Archer This is 1 something in the morning while waiting for the Q111

165th Terminal needs to be redesigned... Any ideas ?

I've had a moment or 2 to read this over and if I did take you out of context then I can apologize After reading your standpoint and understanding that its towards another member on here... I'm not really one for the back and forth stuff So with that said I've sent you message We'll talk there Now we can carry on

Thanks for YOUR 2cents As sideways as it might have come across I see the point of the post But just to defend those who wouldn't have access to the information you have or someway somehow the information gets mixed up while being passed on Plz DO REMEMBER this is s FORUM where we share what we know... Right or Wrong it's worth being shared I would appreciate however that if someone is wrong instead of trying to make them feel some type of way by talking down slick talk or just that sideways stuff... KILL all of that noise and just KEEP IT INFORMATION If someone is wrong let them know but do it respectfully‼️ I'm watching these posts and if I feel as if someone is coming off sideways I'm pressing the issue from here on out I have an inbox and my phone works fine....

It would make sense for JA to send over its 4900s to ENY for the LFSs ENY in turn gives up the 4900s and some 5000s to UP for UPs 4800s

Thanks for clearing it up... The MTAB model then is crappy

No they aren't... 3500s are older... they were on property before they changed the rear seating configuration... The 3600s started the seat change on the MTAB side... On NYCT side we didn't see the change until the 6600s showed up So anything pre 6600 is DONE The entire 7500-7600 CNG versions are done The entire 3500 series is DONE

They weren't properly tested outside of ManhattanWhen they first got them they were too fast so they slowed them down messing with the computers on them... Hence now why some of them drag and then the battery replacement is also an issue... Basically it's not a good designed bus...

All the Gen 1 07s are gone with the next order MTAB (3500s and some 3600s) NYCT (6300s - 6500s)(7500s-7600s) CNG version QV could've taken the NGs in Jamaica.. But I do hope they leave soon to CS.... Once ENY kicks out our LFS It probably sounds as if I'm bias to Hybrids but they just don't work in the outta boroughs... Also this is off topic a friend of mine as I were talking and he said that outside of SI the over the road coach isn't needed... That they could've order suburban 60 footers... What do y'all think about that ?

It's the Brass... ENY in Bklyn In Queens it's QV Eastchester has some pull on the MTAB side Those RTS 51xx's they have TA wants them back Flatbush and East New York really want them Flatbush more so then the East From my understanding Flatbush doesn't want NGs either Basically NOBODY outside of Manhattan besides Grand Av and Freah Pond wants Orion's anymore OG or NG

First and foremost there's ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to come at me sideways with your response when in fact I'm just simply asking questions.... So you need to serious check YOURSELF on how you talk to people Now back to MAIN topic at hand which is these bus moves Yes everything you stated is true I know the order I know the breakdown of it However the monkey wrench into this whole situation especially from ENY from what I've heard They want either more 99 Novas or the 4800s from UP... ENY wants to get rid of those OGs they have... Nobody wants them There's NO 99 Novas to be spared at the moment Basically it's a bus for bus situation I could go in on this in detail but it's just too much to type

So they are taking 8045-8089 back ?Why didn't they just take the oddball NGs we got ???????????? nobody seems to want Orion's anymore. NG or OG.. QV should've kept those Novas for a lil while longer in my opinion If your gonna scrap something scrap those 64xx's This throws a monkey wrench into everything on the Queens side of things So losing these LFS... What are we getting back ? Newer LFS later on down the line ? More 99 Novas ? And why are we still stuck with those oddball NGs ? Someone please clear this up for me

Interesting indeed... This move I didn't see coming QV is taking back LFS from us Hmmm... Why tho ?
