What is missing here not all of the 73xx buses are leaving FB. As of right now: Ulmer Park is getting 20 of FB’s 73xx buses. Also East New York already has 7361-7365. (FB has 7356-7360) I would expect 7356-7360 to go East New York. Ulmer Park already has 7348-7355, and some more of that batch will head to Ulmer. Flatbush will more likely retain the lower 73xx buses along with the 76xx buses that are coming in.
Sir. I wish I had a magic wand for this. However, I don’t know. I think that’s a question to be posed by the Department of Buses.
As this was explained on Thursday/Friday was that the 73xx buses are 3 yrs old and some have not generated enough mileage. These moves right now are for those reasons. Who knows those 73xx buses may go back to Flatbush Avenue
I guess the way things are going there. Looks like they want to keep the best RTS buses. But that’s most of the Brooklyn Division. FP went all hybrid not too long ago. Hopefully FB can send some to FP.
Nice spotting. Saw 7355 for the last time yesterday on the B46 local and now it’s a Ulmer Park bus. Hope Ulmer Park is slowing retiring those RTS since Flatbush isn’t sending enough RTS out.
Wow. 2 East New York buses graduating for swing buses. I guess 5177 will be on the 17 and 5212 will be on the 42/82 or vice versa on any given day. 5177 farebox is gone?
Whats the status on 5210? Revenue service or swing bus?
There’s also a LFSA somewhere in Deer Park. That also has no number. I know the option buses aren’t due until mid to late summer. (Correct me on this).
Kinda figured that was gonna happen. Something tells me that FB will end up with the lower 73xx’s and ENY with the middle end of the 73xx batch from FB. Right now at least 15 buses from the 73xx batch are off SBS.
If not all of Brooklyn Division have the ad in front of buses.
The ad space is only on the front of buses. Would of thought this ad would be more appropriate for a rear ad. However, I’ve spotted this ad with most of the Brooklyn Division buses.
PS: are they finally slapping ads on those SBS NG’s at Yukon?
