Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a LFS HEV sighting!

How many are we getting ? And is for NYCT or MTA Bus ?

There’s an 8-Car R46 at JAM Yard. Saw it when I was on the Van Wyck Expwy

Are the R211s currently being built or are they still in pause because of COVID-19

The R179 is their own fleet out of ENY (for the ). The R160s are shared with the   but it's first calculated to how many on that line. Later, the leftover is  what's left from the  , as well as the CBTC R160s on the  to be placed on the   . 

So if the MTA give ENY those 4-Car R211 the R160 from  would go the the  ? 

Does the  have the own fleet because I know the R143 is for the  and majority of the R160 is for the  so does the  takes whatever left from the  and uses the R179 ??

Saw it last night while on Nostrand. Just a bit surprised that buses are being moved during this situation.  At the least FB got the last bus to complete 29 XD60’s 2017.  
 

I wonder what’s gonna happen with the M14SBS down the line since the  project is 99.999% done with the remaining .1% of projects to be finished by fall or early 2021 due to the crisis. 

What’s going to happen to LGA 2017 XD60s. Are they keeping them ?

Well now the  service is up & running 

7108 on the B6

Not yet, there's at least 1 R46 that's still on the line out of the 3 8 75 ft car trains remaining.

Hmmm so Coney Island will be keeping some of the R160s then because to be honest I’m always in Lower Manhattan by the Manhattan Bridge & I still see more R160 than R46s crossing the bridge 

Is the  100% R160 ?

I thought we got the additional 18 cars last year? 

I remember reading on the thread , somewhere on this threat the every time the R179 messes Bombar has to compensate and extra 2 cars or more. 

What’s with MQ & MCH swapping buses ?

The best chance to see all the R179 for the  is rush hours. You basically see then back to back now & does anybody know wassup with 3262-3267 that set just been sitting in Pitkin yard for like the longest 

3308-3317 in service on its way to 125th St

That was unnecessary. If you're going to be insulting for no reason, go somewhere else with that nonsense.

This is a place for discussion, not for infantile statements such as that.

Thanks felt the same way

Y’all got it all wrong. Don’t know where y’all getting car class assignments from, but its inaccurate. There’s a special plan for the siemens R160’s and where they’ll end up. But, I’m just gonna sit back and let y’all carry on. 😉

My money is on Concourse or Pitkin

This may be a dum question but does what specific time does AM/PM rush technically start & ends I’m new hear lol

To sum up any questions regarding these buses. As of right now, this is the current allotment:

-25 to LGA 

-15 to JFK

-13 to BP

The current SBS units at MTAB will go back to NYCTA, with a handful remaining for use on the Q70 when the line gets converted to artic in the near future. Buses will receive SBS colors in due time. 

 

 

With this order , is it going to push there current XD60s to NYCT which LGA & JFK/Far Rick has ?

Try riding the n/b  out of Brooklyn during the AM rush. Legitimately one of the more miserable experiences there is — the gentrification of Fort Greene and  transfers slam those trains. 

To be honest off peak the  riders drop a lot. It’s only packed during AM/PM peak
