R179 8258

I don’t think it’s temporary. I think the MTA doesn’t really care about the fleet number as much as we do on the forum. I think someone said it before that they just want to push the NG to Bus Co. so they can retire they’re OG. And I don’t see the reason to shift buses around because of the fleet numbers. A depot has the exact number of buses they’re suppose to have. They’re probs my going to leave it that way. Pushing everything is computerized

Those are mostly likely to finish up the allotments of each depot. They did this with the last XD order just gave XDs to a depot and give them they’re assigned allotment

When the MTA getting $6 Billion funding , will they be enough for the first & second option for the R211

Keep a look out for more XDE on ENY routes !!

Any updates with 8th Avenue Line CBTC

Those 4700 at UP seem to be in bad shape. So far the between and equal quality of 40ft & 60fts of XDs on the B1

Cool. Is Charleston getting a piece of the Electric- Hybrid pie ? (Rumor to see if you guys have heard about it)

Have the options for the XDE40s been exercised ?!?

Is Meredith really a bus depot as in like does it’s own Maintenance and have building like the other depot, or it’s really like a storage for buses ?

With the headed to Jamaica, does Coney Island spare factor increase ?

But isn’t going 8th CBTC different from QB CBTC ? On one of these thread , can’t remember 8th Ave is going to only work with the R211 & R179 that why Jamaica is getting them to for and possible because the is always rerouted on 8th Ave. So it make sense to give R211 to Concourse

Will 9500-09 from Grand head over the ENY as well or those are just the prototypes ?

I meant is it doing that currently lol sorry should’ve word it better

Does it has to do the normal 500 miles test part like the other NTT in the past ?

There are rumors (or might not be ) but it’s word being thrown around that the is going to Concourse ? Can anyone confirm ?

The last of the R160s at Coney Island are they going to Jamaica ?

I’m uncertain was driving at the time but there was highway patrol there

2289 out of Charleston pull over on the SI Expressway

That explains Why MTA get NYCT leftovers

So even funding is different ?

But what the difference isn’t MTA Bus & NYCT the same. I always wanted to know if they’re the same or different ?!?!

But don’t every NTT has CBTC bypass mode

So basically it’s just Father Time. Every train age and bound to have issues. Someone on the forum says that Jamaica knew how to handle the R46s , which were to have them service a part time line which is the I’ve rode them a couple of times on the and no issues. The reality (swap finger use the Reality Stone) Jamaica isn’t the cause of the state of the R46s. 2. Yeah Pitkin ones are Better but they have R179s to give there R46s a break. CI has the R68 classes but but it’s split among 4 lines (NWQG). And last but not least. FATHER TIME THE age of the R46s are coming to and end. Look how many times MTA SMS (think that the right Acronym) the R32 but they still had PROBLEMS along the way. The Foamers and Railfan has to understand these points. The R46s age is coming to an end because they’re old

So is the returning to Jamaica ?

But won’t they require Concourse to learn how to deal with them when they’re running bad already. I say as long as they’re functional to get passengers to point A to B we’ll just have to endure until the R211 delivery comes into play
