One NovaBus LFS HEV is in-service at Manhattanville. They will slowly use a few units to see if they're functioning properly/well on the road (sort of like a 30-day test). 

As of this morning, #9660 is back in service on the M100 along with #9745 which is out again today on the M96.

520 has Version 2 screens.

Disregard please

Those buses growl till the fat lady can’t sing anymore now lol. Love the ZF XDs in the city.

On a side note, School Tripper artics are back on at least one of the Gun Hill routes. 5311 is on the Bx28 as we speak.

That's just the regular AM rush hour trip from Kingsbridge. KB has one run on the 28 to and from Co-Op City, and they tend to throw whatever they have on that trip.

Did 5601 come from Gun Hill? I Rode this bus on the M23 and man that bus is dusty. Easily the worst Artic I been on out of Quill since they swapped Novas with CS a few years ago. It had dirty windows like Bronx Nova artics do. Usually Quill buses are very clean, even the M60 assigned units weren't as ragged as 5601 is,  bus also rattled in the engine area while the bus was in motion.

Nope, it's been at MJQ since it was delivered.

1453 has entered service on the BxM18 to Riverdale-263 St this afternoon.

Bus has actually been in service since Monday. It's already made a few trips on the BxM11 and BxM1. But yes it's in service and trackable.

Not exactly, for some reason they're splitting the  in two sections, with one running between Court Sq & Bedford-Nostrand and the other between 4th Av-9th St & Coney Island. Would've made more sense to call the southern portion the , but it is what it is.

Side note: Why did they stop running the  to Ozone Park overnight during this type of service change? Seems like a waste to have both the ,  and Lefferts  running all at once.

What is with the headways on the  it’s ridiculous! I hope they run some  ,s local .today I wanted one and it was 22 minutes away! 
 

Regarding  the  change next month, it doesn’t say on the MTA site that it’s split. Where did you see that?

That split is only happening Friday night to Saturday morning for some reason. After that, it’ll be running the full route from Court Sq to Stillwell for the rest of the weekend.

One I haven't seen mentioned is the Q11. Also, since you mention branching somewhere between it's start and end points, the Q10 also applies.

Speaking of the Q10, is there any consistency of what bus does which routing from Kew Gardens? There's two routes leaving from the station:

1. Queens Blvd > 82nd Ave > Kew Gardens Road > Lefferts

2. 80 Road > Austin St > Lefferts 

I've seen buses do both, but I'm not sure if there's any pattern.

 

The only buses that are scheduled to leave from Queens Blvd are the short turns to 150th Street and to Rockaway Blvd. The buses that run all the way to JFK (local and limited) start along Kew Gardens Road.

? On the NF orders: ok so the XD40 7851-7989 design looks more like XDE40s 9500s. Why didn’t they go with the XD40s as they did with 7484-7850 before them? 
 

2) Yesterday was odd on the Q32. Mostly the Q32 is routed to 37th St & 5th Ave to 7th, then turn on it to 32nd St-Penn Sta. This one decided to follow the old routing via 34th St. 

The upcoming 2021 XD40 order is an option from the XDE order, so most of the specs on 7851 (including the full roofline) are the same.

Same with the 2021 LFS diesels, they're options from the LFS HEV order, which is why the HVAC unit on 8755 is different from the rest of the LFS diesels.

9571 delivered and in service at MCH

Bx99 to be discontinued on June 10th, 2021.

Same as the B99 and I’d assume the M99, just saw some signs posted up along 8th Avenue

A bus on the Bx11 was involved in a fire around an hour ago near Jennings Street: at the time, police are saying the fire may have been caused after a motorcycle collided with the bus, and that folks were evacuated before the fire broke out. The bus (which was an XN40, number unknown) looks pretty scorched and in a bad state. Videos and info are on the Citizen app for anyone who's curious.
