Why you say that?

Cause of the crazy speeds they take turns at and I also notice that a lot of them prefer to manually shift the bus

These Q44 drivers really be having a blast driving the XD60s 😄

328 on the Bx8

556 on the Q50. Considering all the buses they have it's more than enough to cover service. Why borrow from CP?

Maybe a rush hour trip

26 XD40's for MTA bus. Could EC finally be getting their own (and first) batch of new buses?

That paint scheme is trash. Did they have Stevie Wonder on the design team or something??

What buses were in the lot? I'm pretty sure its just used for extra storage space. They used to store only the old D60hfs in there. I'm pretty sure the lot is owned by DOT, there's like a salt spreader truck stored in there too, at least I did see one.

All I could see were Orions and it was a lot of them too

So I was on the Q44 and I realized that there were some buses parked up in a lot across from West Farms Depot (on 177th). Is this a new thing? And another thing, these buses cause a lot of traffic trying to get into the depot. They literally occupy the entire turning lane for the Cross Bronx.

Westchester Sq also serves as the relief point for the Bx8 and Bx31.

Fordham Plaza for the Bx15 and Bx17

Pelham Bay for the Bx5/12/29

-4942, 4944, 4946, 4983, 4997, 5009 WF to GA.

-6626, 6630 MHV to GA

Well it was fun while it lasted

The buses are just so cheap compared to the LFS. They rattle, not to mention that they have the brake interlock that the 4800s do not have. Terrible buses IMO.

Brake interlock huh. I wonder if that has to do with the 50 million sounds the bus makes before slowly pulling off

What is the exact problem with the newer XD40s?. If ENY and other depots hate them so much, can't the maintenance teams tweak their specs a bit?

Why are there so many LGA buses on the Q25/34 lately?

So......is 677 only gonna run on the B35?

Interesting because I saw 4758 on the Whitestone Bridge headed to Queens yesterday.
