MTA Bus

When does the Bronx Routes starts running to Orchard Beach?

Memorial Day to Labor Day

The fuel tank of 2001 unit #7560 Orion7 CNG.. Have been expired.. Rather waiting 7560 retiring in 2016?. At least the fuel tank Orion7CNG 7560 only it good up to 14 years. So I hope anyone will able to know when only 7560 will be sent to scrap.. 7560 were built in 2001..

The tanks for 7560 expire next year, which is when the new CNG buses will be expected to start service. All of the Orion 7 CNG buses have 15 year tanks.

188, 194 and 4702 have been repainted.

Im pretty such now Ulmer Park is finished with the 7100 order

Unless they do not get the LFSs they're supposed to get.

184 has been retired.

Which depot is getting the LFSs first in April-May? Jamaica?

It supposed to be Ulmer Park, but that might change.

5146, 5148-5149 FB to EN.

2401 YU to UP.

6012, 6016-6017 EC to CP. Not sure what's up with that.

 

4919 JA to CS. [likely loan]

Orion Vs at CP once again ? Interesting

Flatbush's XD-40s are all on the B46

 

Also, boarding on 8859 on the B25, the "Stop Request" chime sounds like the Nova LFSAs when requesting a stop

According to tracker, 7304 & 7305 are on the B46, 7255 is on the B41, and 7256 is on the B2.

5147 to ENY. Curently on the B15.

9541 GA - FP

8065 has been repainted.

Gillig had never trialed a bus in NYC, right? As well as making an artic? Though that may be the ugliest thing yet

There was a Phantom demo back in 2004.

Speaking of which, idk why the MTA doesn't extend the 145th St station. There is enough space north and south of the station to extend the station. Maybe it's just laziness or financial problems.

That station should have been closed down a long time ago, but the community didn't like that, despite the fact that 148th is three blocks away.

They should have done this a long time ago.

I don't know hence my question...

The M15 SBS is out of Hale now.

Can someone tell me what the point of split is?

There's work being done in one of the tubes between Bronx and Manhattan whenever this G.O is in effect. They usually close one of them off and have trains from Woodlawn single track south of 149th Street.

1266 was on the M34 this morning (has both Hale and 126th stickers on it) and 1285 was on the M34A as well.

The Q42 also loops at its last stop and I think the Q113 has something similar.

 

The destination font on 3630 looks different than other 2006-7 Orion VII's its thinner for some reason. It reminds me of the buses 6490-6699.

A few of the MTA Bus OGs had their sign reprogrammed. There's a few more of them at JFK and BP with the reprogrammed sign.

The M116 is a Manhattanville route, however, like the M42, it has 4 morning runs from Quill. 5203 was out there this morning.

Then the 34 Street (S)huttle is the only good idea. Here's my plan:

 

34 Street :

Runs under name IRT

5 Car Set of R62's or R142's

3 Track layout (Maybe 4 and one could be a express track).

 

Stops:

34 Street Penn Station

Has layout of Times Square Shuttle Platforms with track 4 connecting to the local track.

 

34 Street Penn Station

Has layout of Grand Central Shuttle Platform with track 1 connecting to the 7th Ave Local Tracks.

 

34 Street - Herald Square

Has layout of Grand Central with tracks 1 and 4 connecting to both the local tracks and the tracks, tracks 1 , 2 and 3 end here.

 

EDIT: Please wait for the rest of the plan - I have to wait 15 minutes before posting the rest of the layout.

Do you realize how deep they would have to dig for this ? Plus, you got to worry about the East River tunnels as well.

4060 @ FP.

7091 in service.

7108 is in service. I saw it this morning on the B42.

What the heck is this G.O. all about? All it looks like is railfan attraction. This doesn't allow much construction to happen either. What is the point of this G.O.?

 

P.S. It is also aggravating Javier.

They are working on the tubes between Manhattan and The Bronx. One of them is closed off, which is the purpose of this G.O.

 6097, 6169, 6194, 6292, 6298, 6300, 6312,& 6348 have all been retired. There's now only 12 Orion Vs left at GA

7090 is back at ENY and currently on the Q24.
