It's a loan guys... 3563 is also a long time loan, it is not permanently assigned to SC.
It's been there for the past 6 months and has SC stickers and it listed as a SC bus tho...

It would be nice if a B6 operator could take one out on the line. This would be a good opportunity for them to see how artics work on the line.

What depot does the M191 run out of?
Looks like Manhattanville pretty much. I haven't seen any KB buses on it.

Seems like a new M1 code on some of the buses, shows GRAND ST as its own screen. Sort of like what the flipdot OGs had for that route, though that particular combination only occurred a couple times due to the fleet shift to MCH.
I saw it last night. Now it says:
M1 GRAND ST
M1 via 5th Avenue
Via Broadway

Does anyone know what depot 3563 is at? Because its been between SC and JFK a lot. Also worth asking whats up with 4799? Is this retired or being fixed.
It's at Spring Creek. They've had it since the fall.

I haven't seen an R32 train since the 179s were pulled from service. When the 179s were active, 32 trains were a lot more common.
I saw one on Wednesday actually. I think they just reduced them down to 1-2 sets now.

They’re gonna be OUT for awhile... now I’m second guessing how the hell these cars passed their revenue service testing....
Well, they technically didn't pass a 30 day test because they "cheated" the test.

According to the MTA, there will be a R42 farewell trip sometime in the new year. I don't know how ture this is because I saw it on Twitter, so don't quote me on this.

So is that free in system bus-subway transfer going to extend to the B6 and B82 or no?
I passed by there eariler and they put up new signs by the new turnstiles outside the station. It says
Enter for
B6 to Bensonhurst
B82 to Coney Island
B82-SBS to Bensonhurst
So, maybe it has, maybe it doesn't IDK yet

Is there a good chance the runs for the first day will not happen this weekend? I'm seeing the weather for this Sunday, and it's rain all day (i.e. people less likely to attend, not to mention keeping the vintage equipment away from bad weather as what happened with the Lo-V a few years ago; a run to Yankee Stadium cancelled due to rain).
It should still run, since it's running completely underground.

So apparently the Bx39 is going to WF in January and the Bx15 will be fully out of KB. Can any drivers confirm this?

6171 is on the L shuttle between Myrtle and Broadway Junction. Never seen an artic on the L shuttle ever, so it's a bit surprising

Seriously?!?!??? I guess the operators from Flatbush are tired of the 2012-2013 NovaBus LFSA!
Flatbush is short a few artics, from what I heard.

I’ve always wondered why they do that? Don’t they also change the fareboxes too?
Yea, MTA Bus has different radios and fareboxes than NYCT, so they have to change it.

The Q103 has to be the most irrelevant route in all of the MTA. I know there are other routes that are kinda out there, but what's the purpose of the 103. I know it's not to far from Queens Bridge Projects and stops by the , but other than that, that bus is just there. If you look up on Google Q103 Bus. The 1st image your gonna see 100 series Orion 5 from Like a decade ago. And a few more pics, but not a whole lot. It operates on over 30 minute headways, so yeah... most irrelevant route in my opinion.
You clearly never ridden it, cause that route gets decent ridership now compared to a few years ago. They even added evening and weekend service, which means that people must be using it then.

They had the lowest bid, which is the way a lot of orders go nowadays.
