I didn’t know there was a discord tracking bot for buses 😅

That's something some users here have admitted to using to post moves on the forum. Some swear by it while others question its accuracy.

Yeah it has been spotted and tracked numerous times and I even have spotted it myself 

I hope that source is not the discord tracker bot. @SevenEleven is a reputable source here.

3695, 3752, and 3763 are actually retired 

Those 3 are still in the system. Admittedly, I don't know if they're currently present at the depot.

since we are on the topic of 4278. It may make trips to LaGuardia for refueling incase it needs it in order to keep running.

Pretty sure CP can do that in-house. People seem to forget they have their own fleet of DIESEL coaches that they refuel there. Anyone can feel free to correct this.

Why is JFK retiring Lithiums? 

They got others to take their place and the retired ones are useful to salvage parts for the active units.

5313 from West Farms has been at Tuskegee Airmen since January 16th. This means it is a confirmed transfer.

Some West Farms units stick around for a month or two. Its happened often with other units from that depot so I wouldn’t go labeling this a transfer yet.

3802, 3822: JFK Acid Next Generation units retired with parts removed.

Have those been towed out or are still sitting at the depot?

And what about the 2023-2024 Novas for MTA Bus?

8 hours ago, JoshTheScrub said:

As of right now BP is 73% finished with its deliveries.  JFK/FR Not sure the assignment number but they are up to 40 rn. LG hasn't gotten any Novas yet.

I'm sure the deliveries are slow due to the OGs and NGs still being in service 

Novas delivered so far:

BP: 8964-8966, 8970, 8972, 8975, 8977-8979, 8983, 8985, 8987-9005, 9007-9009 (33*)

FR/JK: 9010, 9012-9014, 9017, 9019-9020, 9022, 9024-9025, 9028-9031, 9033-9046, 9048-9049, 9051, 9053, 9060-9061, 9063-9064, 9067, 9070, 9074, 9080 (40)

*Asterisk as it was reported that 9006 was delivered but it has yet to be spotted.

3150 to Spring Creek from Far Rockaway (Said it ran on the BM2 and BM4 a couple of hours ago)

It was only a loan. Bus was sent back to Far Rock yesterday.

Let's hope they don't. MetLife is hosting eight games in 2026 and will most likely be almost at capacity depending on who plays. There have been so many instances where NJT and/or Metlife have screwed over people trying to leave the stadium. WrestleMania in 2019 comes to mind where passengers had to wait hours before a train showed up after the show ran long.

I disagree. The Meadowlands Line needs high capacity MUs to be successful in general. There are enough events there in general to make them viable.

Well whatever's the case, I would of been ok with the proposal of bringing a new railcar had they planned any changes as soon as the world cup was awarded. The final wasn't even awarded until Sunday. I think bringing in new equipment from a buildier that NJT is not familiar with is a bad idea if an early 2026 deadline is put as things can go south during the tournament. If its for future-proofing after the world cup, then maybe.

I recommended that NJT get Stadler KISS battery units for the Meadowlands service to both Stadler and NJT. NJT doesn't want units that can be only used on one division, but I responded that there is enough density to get two sets of cars for both divisions. In addition, I recommended that the cars have PERIMETER seating temporarily installed for the World Cup and switch to normal seating afterwards. Stadler was not sure that they could meet the deadline for the World Cup. I think a Buy America waiver for the first 40-50 battery cars might solve this problem. NJT will need an MU to handle the volume and turnaround times for the World Cup.

Nah, its too late to invest in a railcar that is so unfamiliar to NJ Transit and with less than two years to order and prep workers for it. Not to mention, MetLife is only hosting 8 games: June 13, 16, 22, 25, 27, 30th and July 5th & 18th (Final). A system like that would be pretty useless after that as the tournament is only 39 days long.

As I have stated long term loans. They aren't the same as the daily LGA loans CP receives. 4119, 4278, 4601 have been at the depot for more than a week now hence why I say long-term loan so as it is not to be confused with the daily LGA short-term loans.

This is more akin to the long-term loans Tuskegee Airmen have from other Bronx and Manhattan depots.

2788 is on the X38 now 

Bus has been there since last year. I made mention of that on Friday.

So FIFA announced that the World Cup final in 2026 will be held at MetLife stadium. It'll be interesting what will or won't be done about the transit options to the stadium in two years.

#3677 is NOT retired. I happened to ride it yesterday on the Q41.

The surge in posts where people report seeing the bus without the omny readers are irking me a bit. I'd wait until the bus is towed out of the depot before reporting, but that's just me.

 3677 & 3695:retired at JFK

 

 

 

 

 

 

3677 just ran a few hours ago.

Speaking of which, are all those reported buses actually retired? Just curious to know from those that have seen the omny readers removed.

The  and the city really need to do something about the homeless and drug addicts hanging out on the edges of stations on the  line. 181st is pretty bad with some making it their own personal bathroom and the needles that keep piling up on the tracks. I feel for the train operators that manage to get a sniff of the station ends.

I mean like they are only the FIRST LOCAL BUSES to be delivered to mta bus not like that matters amiright?💀💀

Not sure what you're trying to get at here when the guy was only asking if those two units were still in service or not.

Neither 3594 or 3736 going to be preserved they getting strip for parts 

I wasn’t referring to those specific units. I was making a general response to why any OG hybrid should be preserved.
