Saw the TOMC coming into 207 St yard after some testing along 8th Ave (I believe) Funny how R33 Main Lines #9016-9017 came solo while the other R33 Main Line cars came together and EVERY single car was signed up as the .
The Metro Wiki site can be pretty inaccurate since anyone can alter the info so I don't trust that site when it comes down to knowing which bus is at which depot.
MHV since the wants to keep it hybrid-only. LGA won't be giving them up or else they'll suffer a even bigger shortage unless the 6300's (O7's) are bumped off over there.
The RTS retirement won't be happening until around 2015-2017. The O5 CNG's however might retire at the end of the year, but that won't be a major problem since the O5 CNG's come out during rush hours.
The people at Nova Bus update the program to LOOK like a Luminator, but is still sports the signs they came with. I think the buses have to be sent over at Nova Bus, but other than that, I have no idea why not all are updated. I actually rather keep some Novas with the signs they came with.
Kingsbridge was recently getting a crap load of Orion V's so those 4300's had to be bumped off to Gun Hill. No other 4300 has moved to Gun Hill at this time.
The 5000's that were loaned to LGA went through DOT inspection. Even if the buses are loaned to Bus from NYCTA or MaBSTOA, they still have to go through DOT inspection.
The ones from MTA Bus have to go through DOT inspection before hitting the streets. A lot of LGA RTS recently failed DOT inspection so they were sent to ECH to get fixed.
