I wonder what we should do next....ooh, let's put the R32s on the , R42s on the , R46's on the , R143's on the , R160's on the Franklin , and R179's on the !

Or heck, why don't we go a step further and put the R68s on the ??? 

Surely that would be a logical MTA car assignment right there....  

 

Please don’t start an argument 😭 the users will run with it 😭😭😭

That was 3058-3061+3094-3097

Not going to lie ,  I saw that set on Carnaise line I couldn’t tell the number but I saw 3097 on one of the car but he’s correct that set was washed

Question... if SBS is the priority, how come MCH has yet to receive new or even hand me downs for the M15+? Seem like they are long overdue for something.

They’re getting new XD60s soon ; it’s in the MTA Fleets and Depot Discussion

How about  does not want LFS in Brooklyn b/c of maintenance. None of the Brooklyn maintenance facilities can’t do extensive LFS work. They can do some but not all work. Extensive work is done at Zerega. 

Unless  decides to built another Maintenance facility in Brooklyn that can house NOVAS than its all good. 

But ENY had LFS and maintain them perfectly

Brooklyn never wanted Orions I’m sure they would have preferd a RTS CNG.

It’s has East New York decals? 

Yes

Just saw 7365 on the 82. Looks weird lol

So basically these order are is to give all route that have SBS better feets .. copy ! 

So the  is getting all R179s interesting 

Has anybody notice the route display( the one you can see in the front of the bus) on the  2016-2017 XD40 looks a like the 2011 XD6O route display ? I’ve seen it on the buses base out if ENY and FP

No, the R46’s for the  would come from the , so Queens Blvd can be 100% NTT. Then, the  would be slated to get R211’s.

Queens Blvd CTBC isn’t the main focus right now. The main focus is the  lines. Queens Blvd I can tell for certain is not on the MTA mind right. Y’all have to stop putting Queens Blvd CTBC in the mix

I could only guess 2 things. The 103 service levels are increasing and the 2003 buses are completely gone from SC. Accurate? 

I saw 7670 or 7660 either numbers sitting at SC

Let's just be grateful that the cars will finally be back in service...

 

 

 

You guys take these things way out of hand. Yes we all love trains and the transit system we use and enjoy. Yes the R179s are a mess , yes another rail at builder shoudve gotten the order . But they’re  here now , and they’re really smoove trains. More of the R179s will come , just not in the time frame we want then to come. For right now let’s just be patient enjoy the 3 sets we have know. Like @Coney Island Av said we all should be glad that they’re going back in service. DJ Hammer and other with great sources with keep us update in due time. There’s is not nothing to get upset over lol 😎😎😎. MTA ain’t really stressing it why should we 😎✊🏾

I think I saw 7606-7610 on the  early this Friday 

6620 to Fresh Pond currently on the B7

The first half of the  fleet should be 100 R32s and 90 R179s in passenger service + 30 R32s and 30 R179s as spares. The rest of the  fleet can still be R46s and the  fully R46s like the  and  Rockaway Park Shuttle.

I hope this really happens.

Or the  and  can both use the R46s as spares

Since the order was modified there will be enough 10-car sets for BOTH the . Since Jamaica is gonna be 100% R160 some 46's will head to the , while most head to the . The R160's currently on the  will head to the , and some R68's might head to the . 

When you add the total amount of R46's from BOTH 207, Jamaica, and Pitkin, and the additional 10-car R179's, this will be enough to completely kick the R32's off the  so they can be transferred to- you already know the obvious contender. 

The 8-car sets will obviously go to the 100% NTT , and are rumored for the . 

And IDK about R179's on the . The  getting them is more likely since insiders have hinted at it. 

 

 

How about we just wait and see what happens. Assignment are never finialize with the MTA
