Something weird is going on with the artics in the bronx depots as the KB and WF are lending buses to each other. 5580, 5617, 5635, 5683, 5710, 5712-5713, 5715 and 5736 are on WF routes. 4758 and 5667 are on KB routes.

He's taking about uptown M101's running on Saint Nick past 181 street.

We only reported that the buses are in service, not that they're at the JFK facility like the other posts on this topic said. I didn't even see anyone mention 5998 on this topic. Also, someone already posted about 719 and 722 yesterday.

There's always more than one articulated unit on the 36 every rush hour, not just on some occasions.

5998 delivered to CS.

5904 CS to OH.

Yep. Since summer schedules don't require as much buses on the road, the buses that can't fit in the depot are sent to Stengel. Of course the units can be taken back to Jamaica in case of a sudden shortage.

5324 CS to GH.

It was mentioned earlier last month, but it was at Zerega until recently.

For the Bx6 SBS, new fare machines were placed at Prospect ave and the DOT is starting to place SBS bus stop signage at the Yankee Stadium stop. Also, some C40's have the SBS fare sticker on the fare boxes.

5579, 5675 WF to KB.

Keep in mind that Gleason went through a 8 year dry spell of not getting any buses by the time the C40's were arriving in 2011-12. In between that time, other Brooklyn depots got new buses as they came in. And it's also been 4 years since the last of the new C40's came to Gleason so on paper, Gleason seems to get new things when in reality the depot gets a bunch of new units before waiting a couple of years for new ones, especially as a CNG depot that can't refuel diesel buses in mass quantities like West Farms can.

5225-5226, 5235 and 5243 also have the Hanover displays.

This was a last minute change as these were supposed to be Grand Ave units for the M shuttle, before realizing that the artics weren't needed. The few XD60's are there at least until the new Nova articulated units come to Gun Hill.

I only said that the new Xd60's on the 22 wasn't really related to complaints. I do know that a lot of passengers complain about the lack of quality buses on their routes. It's just that the new XD60'S at Gun Hill ran on one route for the most part at first, just like so many newly delivered buses beforehand.

Lol, I should of stated just for Gun Hill as the M86 is the only SBS route for Tuskegee so it's easier to manage a small fleet for one route compared to Gun Hill handling two busy SBS routes. Shortages are still going to be an issue even with a wave of new buses coming in, especially if a lot of them break down or have defects after a few days of service. Also, I didn't say that Gun Hill got the 4 xcelsiors because they're short either, but seeing three of them on the 22 on a weekend doesn't showcase how passenger complaints lead to them being on the route. The other examples you gave are legit, but not the one for the 22.

It's not possible to assign buses just for one route, especially when Gun Hill has shortages and when the SBS fleet is shared with the 41 SBS. The 4 newer XD60'S just happened to run on the 22 for the most part (Some of then already ran on the 5 and the 12 SBS) New buses tend to run on one or two lines in a depot at first before spreading out, this isn't so much about passenger complaints like you're implying.

4725 repainted.

3838 & 4341 repainted. 5194 & 5196 repainted with white backs.

All three of them were at Charleston before being sent to Brooklyn and Queens.

It's been there since last year.

The already has a transfer to the and trains at Canal Street. Besides, late night trains only run in Brooklyn as a shuttle. Trains make stops in that segment. Also, the can't realistically end at Chambers unless you're talking about the WTC stop.

5576 back at KB from WF.

5726 & 5757 WF to GH. 5715, 5745 & 5756 GH to WF (most likely temporary loans) 5644 OH to MQ.

Those 5 tend to run on some non MCH routes almost every morning. Side notes, 5648 was at WF this morning but was sent back to Tuskegee. 5644 was running on the M14D since this morning so I'm not sure if that unit is a Quill unit or not.
