Queens Village occasionally does some of the overnight runs on the Q44. It’s still a QV bus.

They can show up on any route at any time, even the handful of super express runs on the QM2/5/8/20. You’ll definitely see them running during rush hours, but occasionally one might show up during the weekends or off-peak hours on weekdays.

To answer your earlier question though, they’ve been running the SBS XD40s on the B41, B2, and B31 since FLA replaced those XD40s with the articulated buses on the B46 SBS. You’ll only really see them on those three routes since FLA wanted to avoid putting them on the B44, 46, and 49 (so folks don’t accidentally get on thinking they’re the B44 SBS or B46 SBS).

That scanner still works if you use your phone, right? I tend to use Apple Pay when I take the subway / local bus and haven’t used it on the SBS routes yet.

It’s back at JFK, it’s on the Q52 SBS at the moment.

#6235 is currently running on the Q52 SBS.

Not everyday. Last week, #1302 and #1303 stayed at the depot (before today they were last seen in service on the 14th and 15th respectively on the QM1) while only #1300 and #1304 went out. Today, #1302 and #1304 were out during the PM rush on the QM35 and QM2. I’d assume once more of the Prevosts start arriving we’ll see them being used more often and more frequently. But when the 4 Prevosts at CP do go out, they show up on any route and usually during rush hours, though they have made a few late night and weekend runs.

^^ this. They regularly send buses from Brooklyn and Queens to Manhattan for driver training. A few years ago they sent an XD40 over to Harlem, and they regularly have several buses (I usually spot Orion Next Gens) from the outer boroughs in Midtown driving around the area for the purpose of training operators. I remember once seeing a couple of Next Gens from Jamaica, Queens Village, and Casey Stengel over by 14th Street and 3rd Avenue, all being used for training.

I don’t think those 25 buses were ever meant to replace the Old Gens... I remember hearing a while back (sometime around 2017-2018) that MTA Bus would be getting 25 buses (presumably XD40s) and they would be sending them all to Eastchester. This was around the time that ECH still had the RTS’ so I wouldn’t be surprised if the plan to send all 25 there has changed, but I guess we’ll find out in the coming months.

35, driver is alive FYI.

Driver was taken out on a stretcher FYI. Not sure in what condition but they’re alive.

361 is currently on the B8, so it’s still at JG. 362 was last seen on the B43 almost 18 hours ago so unsure about that bus.

It’s at Zerega as per the last TTMG roster update on the 7th.

It was actually out on the Bx46 five hours ago.

Adding on to the new schedule debacle, they separated the Bx1 and Bx2 schedules... the Bx1 has the new format and the Bx2 has the old one, but both of the maps on the schedules show the Bx1 AND Bx2. Bx1: https://new.mta.info/document/7266 Bx2: https://new.mta.info/document/7271

Actually, 2247 was sent over to Eastchester a few days ago (sometime around the beginning of this month), and 2248 is still at Yonkers. They were both at Yonkers before then.

Some bus numbered "1111" is running on the M57... anyone have any idea what that actually is? There's currently no 1111 in the system to my knowledge. https://www.flickr.com/photos/156130092@N06/50726313051

5568 is now in the local scheme.

They runs alongside the and . North of 7th Avenue on the there’s an opening in the tunnel where you can see the northbound local track right next to the southbound .

That was a former West Farms bus, so that unit probably got those readers while it was still up in the Bronx. Wouldn’t be surprised if 7697 and 7734-7737 also have readers, as those were also sent to ENY from WF.

Wasn’t 22 in service this morning? It was tracking on the M100 on BusTime and went out of service roughly 3 hours ago.

Kingsbridge Road also has an entrance to an underpass as well, along with two other entrances at the street level (Kingsbridge and E. 196th)

288 has a reader set up in the front, nothing in the back tho

They’re out on the Bx1, Bx9, M11, B16, and B63 as well, all with their regular school trippers.

That’s a fan made site. It’s not an official roster whatsoever.
