JFK Depot

hmmm... 4100's to Queens Village.... whats leaving QV ? 9300's ?

The buses you've named aren't in CS lol and the TA is well aware of the 98 Nova RTS and Gen 1 07s HEVs are slated for retirement soon Even tho it looks like the Village got "shitted" on with the change of the LFS order... They actually aren't Trust with option orders on the table... The next wave of 40 footers coming in... Queens Village WILL be on that order but for the time being the way this order looks By the time it's complete and ALL shifting has been done there WILL be a surplus of NGs and 1999 Novas... So QV will be fine Not to mention 8045-8089 eventually will go back to QV once enough new LFS coming in

8405 seen on Archer Ave on the Q85 this morning

QV will be apart of the next order... Given that those 6300-6400 Hybrids will be slated for retirement soon Wouldn't be surprised if they end up with XDs They will have the whole 8000-8089 when the moves are all said and done

No 5100 has left Jamaica... Only 5100 to leave were 5145-5149 But that was years ago

My educated guess would be that the first 8090 was the demo model for what's being delivered now

It's probably gonna go back to Nova...I don't see them renumbering it to 8017 but then again this is the MTA so we will never know

Taken today... r142a7436 by Zerega... So yes people there ARE 2 8090s

You just might be right... Along with Depots in Manhattan with those 6300s and 6400s Hybrids just about due for retirement...

Courtesy of r142a7436 He had the juice to get the picture of 8090 AT Zerega

Your right when I think about it That batch should go over to QV... The NGs JA sent to CS might end up coming back as more XDs come in So those 4600s could be a possible candidate to get pushed out of Jamaica again (Jamaica never liked Orion's) so I'm sure those would be the first option to leave over the older LFS but anything could happen really this IS the MTA we talking about smh

So what is QV getting exactly ? Even if it is only 23 buses... If they are in fact getting the 4800s from ENY Then it makes sense that the 1999 Novas end up back in ENY Although my friend and I were talking about the recent moves and he did bring up a good point With Jamaica receiving 135 NEW buses It would almost be likely that in due time a piece of those LFS would see QV (Mileage and Fleet Age Average) Might not happen right away but some point down the line

So wait a min... With the change in the Order Jamaica gets 8090-8119, 8399-8503 That's counting in QV's order now This is WELL over 130 buses... 135 to be exact What's leaving now ?

If my math serves me correctly Jamaica is suppose to lose 85 and gain an overall total of 92 (8090-8119 8399-8480) in (All the 1996 Novas Retired) (The Rest of the NGs to CS) Am I correct

My apologies it was 5128

There's also an influx of 1999 Novas in Jamaica too I'm seeing a lot of ex Flatbush units here... 5126... 5135... Is there an updated Rostor out ? Also someone said they saw 8402 on the Q30... Can we get a confirmation picture of that... Will be passing thru the Depot later... Will try to get pics of anything new

Lol if ENY was to get NGs... Who's NGs would they get Because right now every move made is bus for bus... And majority of the NGs that are out are on loan (Bronx Staten Island) and will be coming back to Bklyn Logically speaking RTS looks like that's what would go back to ENY to replace the LFS.. Probably 1999 Novas from Flatbush Once Flatbush gets back its NGs

I would love to see that happen lol but we all know that ENY isn't taking any NGs

East New York is definitely seeing a chuck out of this and I have a feeling it will be from one of the Bronx Depots

There's only 1 8090.... It was sent to Jamaica when it first came... Then the order changed and it was sent to ENY... Now that Staten Island is priority... Basically the moves are based on what leaves Staten Island SI receives LFS... Displaces NGs to the Bronx In return the Bronx displaces the loaners back to Bklyn... Which in return displaces Buses to Queens Right now the Orion V's have priority over RTS... Every depot that has Orion V's is getting NEW or NEWER buses... Everyone else BUT Jamaica at this point can wait... And even the shift to Jamaica will be slow... But when it's all said and done Jamaica will send the NGs to CS... Receive more LFS which should kill off majority of 96 Novas and whatever is left will be replaced by 99 Novas My guess as to which Novas will replace them I would say Flatbush's 99 Novas will touch Queens

8090-8091 today

Right after I posted I saw 8091... Took pics of that too The swap must be happening

8090 on Archer Ave and 153rd St... Jamaica Depot Stickers on it I have pics to proof it Don't know how to post them

Those buses were in JFK Airport last weekend... Seen them parked up outside of Port Authority Bus Mantanence Facility

There's a couple of 7400s sitting in JFK Airport Low numbers You could see them off the Q10/B15 coming into JFK They are parked outside that old Sheraton Hotel And then there's a couple of XD's also in the PA facility off 130th Pl
