1). As B35 pointed out congestion was the reason for the 46 not to extend to WBP. However, with some utilization of some back streets the 46 could of benefit going to WBP.
2). Where is this Target being built at? This would be the 5th Target store in Brooklyn. Downtown, on Flatbush and H, at Gateway, at 18th Avenue & 65th.
Just only wish we were getting XDE60's this year.
Now, this order of 108 buses would possibly be a Manhattan/Brooklyn bus order. Since NFI parts are at ENY & Grand Avenue CMF and Queens.
I believe this award is only for NYCT only. corresponding with what ENY mentioned about the NF award for MTA bus is supposed to be later this year.
So yesterday's press release reaffirms the award for NYCTA of 108 additional XD60's.
Copy copy! I kinda thought it would only be the Bronx Division that would get the re-numbering. Since all the LFSA's up to 5530 are already built and ready for delivery. 5500, 5501 are at MJQ.
Surely ridiculous with the recent weather forecasts. Too many damm nor-easters and too much wear and tare with my vehicle in these streets. 5/7/10 day forecasts don't really mean a damm thing. SMDH
Exactly. When I left my house this morning. Only rain drops 💦 through my vehicle. However, streets are dry. TA over reacted on this one. By Friday and Saturday Temps: 70-80. Spring finally here.
The city got mostly rain. However, I see why they wanted to pull out the artics from service. Better safe than be sorry.
Something tells me that GH will get most of the next LFSA order, but also GH always running their LFSA buses to the ground. Just only if ENY CMF or Grand Avenue CMF did LFSA repairs and upgrades than this would be a different story.
Also, since the TA is not in the business of building new depots and Central Maintenance Facilities we just have to deal with things at hand currently.
What pictures of the new XDE40? Haven't seen any thing to that plus 9501 and 9503 are somewhere in New York City pending delivery.
Also, let's be patient in regards to the roster. Right now there are just too many moves being conducted. The LFSA order looks like its gonna wrap up within a few weeks for MJQ.
Now this is interesting. M4 I'd leave alone. Only for the mere reason that it's already Washington Heights to Midtown- Penn Sta via Mad & 5th. The only thing I'd do with the M4 is short turn it at Central Park So & 7th Avenue-57th Street for certain buses, all others to Penn Station. Maybe late nights have it terminate at CPS or 57th and 8th along with the M12
For the M3. That's a different story. There's no limited on this route and that's Washington Heights to Downtown. The issue would only mean which area has the better ridership along the M3 route.
