Looks at all the routes being replaced by shuttle buses.Are they gonna really have enough buses?

I have a feeling that MTA Bus might have to send in some buses that weekend

The MTA needs to stop procrastinating with the new order. The 1996 RTS's suffer a lot with the heat and so many JA RTS's don't have the A/C working. That needs to be fix but it's time those old buses to go they were suppose to be replace starting in late 2013 buts it was pushed back another year. oh it figures with the

Isn't the first few buses of the new order due to arrive by Fall 2014 ?

Saturday i saw an R160 set Wrap in You Tube Display...Pretty Cool but to me it also looks like the train was Bombed....Lol

I've seen that train 5 times in the last week. I don't know how i managed to catch it without trying.

They have been popping up on there more frequently now, I saw 4652 today

4652 is on the Q35 right now.

Any news on when more Orion VII Hybrids from MTA Bus are supposed to be converted into Diesel?

Starting next year, all of them will be converted.

How come I saw 4025 on the Q23 as 4020-4029 is for the Q70?

 

Btw, is LGA routes still using CP C40LFs?

1. That happens a lot. Sometimes, a 44xx or 45xx will show up on the Q70.

2. I don't think so.

1022 is at EC.

For those of you who were wondering, 1306 is at Eastchester. It's on the SRS side of the depot.

Just so everybody understands, the is going to be half R32s and half R46s this weekend, so there's no need to camp out for one.

Talking about MTA Tracker, I keep on trying to search up the Q7, but I always get no results for it. It's everything but the Q7.

You have to type in Q07 and tap no when it says Do you want to remove the route from the database. The same applies to the Q6, Q8, and Q9.

Alright guys, just got word of a couple others but I'm waiting on confirmation for a couple.

 

5400 in service at KB.

5464 to WF.

5512 to MQ.

5514-5515 to JK.

5716 to MQ.

This just got interesting.

Got a text message earlier but I'm trying to find out more information as time goes on...2490 and 2491 at Zerega.

I'm guessing that these are the demos for the new order.

3320 is on loan to JFK from Spring Creek. I saw it on the QM18 today.

Don't you hate stuff like that lol.

 

Personally I pefrer the Q10 to have LFSA's. Because I rode D60's way too much before. But there's always next time to catch one right?

I've heard a rumor (don't know how true it is) that JFK is supposed to receive 1200s from Gun Hill.

There's an R32 on the today. Happy hunting.

It's not really a big deal anymore. It's happened about 2-3 years ago and it will happen again before they will retire.

2565 from Broadway Bus has been retired. There's only one baby RTS left at Broadway Bus.

Watch them put the R179s on the and give 207st Hand-me-down R160s from the and for service. As far as the five car sets, im sure the MTA will place them in CI for the

I don't think the will get them because they already have the R160s plus the R179 is supposed to replace the remaining R32s and R42s, but knowing the MTA, anything is possible.

I went by the Kawasaki plant yesterday and I saw 7255 & 7254 on the layup track. I don't know about the other 3 cars. Also, 7935 is sitting there, looking brand freakin' new. There's also some more trailer cars that are covered up.

speaking of which where is R188 7211-7220+7899?

That set saw service for literally 1-2 days before being taken out of service. It keeps having problems, which is making me wonder about the rest of the sets that will be converted.

7424 SC to CP.

Looks like CP might get all of the ex NYBS MCIs. Very good to hear.

Why aren't they putting any on the Q60? Is it because of the turns south of Archer?

I'm not 100% sure, but i heard that it's because of the turn from the Queensboro Bridge off ramp to 60th Street. However, since the QBL is going to be doing CBTC work, they will have to put them on the Q60.

There's a r160 used for Barclays Specials?Sent from my SPH-L710 using TapatalkEdit: what do you mean by Barclays Specials

After an event at Barclays Center, more trains are added to certain lines.

The B1 will have Limited servicr starting April 6th.

I'll be surprised if they even make it to the summer...

RIP Orion V CNG

Only place to catch them NOW would be NiceBus

Those aren't goin anywhere anytime soon

The remaining Orion V CNGs are going to be here at least until June, so not all of them have been retired yet.

Well I hope that R179 thing is not true. It makes the most sense to have 207, Piktin and Jamaica take care of them. R46s will return to the F and Coney Island gets some of Jamaica's R160's. Then when the R211's come Jamaica and Pitkin will get them.

So far, all we know is that the R179s are going to ENY and 207th Street yards. It hasn't not been determined what yard the five cars sets will go to.

Why are they scrapping a MCI ?
