R179 8258

Does anybody knows when the … 60 XE are coming ? 5 LSFe are coming ?

Why are they refusing the run them ?

Getting ready for those 211 lol

Did anybody hear about the MTA ordered XHE40 (hydrogen fuel) buses for Gun Hill in 2024 ?

If it was reported ( maybe it has ) but 7937 is on it way too Flatbush. Saw it on Flatlands

Is the SIM3 apart of Meredith depot ? I noticed the update on the route and its seems like Meredith is a helper depot for Castleston. What is the main purpose for Meredith Depot ?!?

Can you help me understand why Concourse only wants 68s not 46s ? Besides if a train breaks down

Astoria CBTC is on the table but it’s not going to be done for a WHILE ! Why people keep excusing the fact that other lines like 6th Ave , Culver , Crosstown and Lexington have way more priority that Astoria.

Was those 2011 LFS federal funded ? If not then I can see that happening especially if NYCT has a surplus of buses

Looking like JA keep those XDs lol. And they aren’t trying to lose them lol

Isn’t that an Artics. On what route is run on ?

The excuses and reasons for Broadway to NTTs are funny. Some of you guys say “ the destination “. Okay. So when I a train pul into the station , don’t the train has the route bullet. Another thing , when your in a station don’t it says “ Uptown & Queen “ or “ Downtown and Brooklyn “. I’ll do even better , on the platform doesn’t it always to Coney Island or to 96- 2 Ave. Most commuters don’t care about if it’s new or old. It’s just getting from point A to point B. The R68/A are one of the most reliable cars we have. It’s a shame how y’all down play them. CIY would be happy to have them. So all the destination , LCD screen problem is straight crack. All y’all know how to get home right ???

Honestly , that’s apart of there jobs. If MTA never went NTT they’ll still have to do. They’re just being spoiled. My opinion though

Manhattanville is basically going to have all XDEs from Quill. That’s fine Quill is going have XEs next anyway

MJQ must love the LFS HEVs than the XDEs because they only have 18 XDEs and 58 HEVs

This is a start off retiring those NGs at QV

Honestly I think CBTC for Astoria is a waste because the Astoria Line is only from Queensboro to Astoria which is like 6 to 7 stops. If we want to go to the over crowding with Astoria , they can simple just add more trains pre hour on the and because the R211 order isn’t just for CBTC lines it’s also for fleet expansion They might just have the R211 on the 8th/6th Ave lines. The might get some split some R160 with but the Coney Island will main have to deal with the R68/As until they’re retired and then the whole B Division we be all NTTs

Yeah the service is really needed ! Especially on the weekend

The is slated to Concourse in the future. It was said a few pages back. The MTA wants all CBTC all in one yard , with makes sense , just like how they have the SBS routes all in one depot (MJQ & Gun Hill) and of course how Jamaica Yard

Speaking on retirement age. Is it a mandate to retire a bus when they reach 12 years old. What if it’s still doing good in its 12th year. Do they still retire it because of its age. For Example the RTS we’re here a good amount of time

Do anybody knows how the picks goes. Do the management at a depot pick the equipment they want to have or it’s because of mileage purposes

This is interesting lol

Speaking of future orders. I know currently that the Express Fleet is currently Prevost but I wonder if they’re going to order from MCI again because they have an electric of the D or J 4500s ( can’t remember which one ) and the TA has a goal of all electric nurses by a specific time

Does anybody know why management at Manhattanville aren’t accepting the HEVs
