Future ENY OP

5443 is Kingsbridge 5444-5467 is MQ..

Is there a possibility that 7753-7778 will go Brooklyn bound

That unit is a loan along with 7623 which also went to UP..

The weather forecast up to 1/23/23 calls for temps to be in the 40's & low 50's with Sun and rain.. No snow..

Personally, I'd hold off on 3863.

4243 is not retired and currently working on a Flatbush route at this time.

I mean if transit is extending the other tests why not extend the conductors test for another year?

If they let the test expire on 2/14/23. That sucks for the people that are in the 8000's and 9000's like myself.. I know that personnel has stated they are in the 7000's on this list. Personally, transit needs to get out of DCAS with regards to handling the test and handle their own testing.

Good morning @+Young+ and happy new year. Much prosperity and strength in 2023. Got a question. I noticed that there are list extension updates for every exam except this one. Will the TA extend this list until 2024 meanwhile there’s a possible open competitive exam that could be scheduled as soon as June or July 2023 with an early 2024 test date?

Glitch. There’s only supposed to be the regular Bx18 and thats in service

This unit may be a loan. Several Far Rock express buses are OOS..... 4537: East New York Depot to LaGuardia Depot.. Unit was observed working the Q101 earlier today. Now has transitioned over to the Q69 at this time.

No problem on that. Just got word that 4595 is also not dead and active in service today and that's on the B41 currently. 4333, 4603, 4606 are all being worked on as of this morning. 4629 may be a potential MTA bus transfer (That unit is excellent). Just saw that unit last week on the B49. Also 4546 is back in service as of this morning on the B17.

4616 is not retired.. The unit worked both on the B41 and B46 on Wednesday. 4606 also not retired. This unit worked on Monday and Wednesday. Also, I'm questioning a few of the units from FB.. Some of these units just worked last week & Monday. Responses in Italics 4333 last ran on the B44 on 12.12.22 (not retired. I think this unit is on a break) 4591 last ran on the B49 on 11.29.22 4595 last ran on the B31 on 12.14.22 (not retired. Also, I think unit is on a break or possible MTA bus transfer) 4603 last ran on the B49 on 12.9.22 4606 last ran on the B46 on 12.16.22 (Back in service as of 12.21.22) 4616 last ran on the B41 in 12.17.22 (Back in service as of 12.21.22) 4629 last ran on the B41 on 12.16.22 (not retired. Also, Unit may be on break) Unless these units have fareboxes removed I'd give it some extra time for this.

The other 2 units have also returned back to Fresh Pond as of 6:30 this morning.

It appears those units are loaned to ENY. All still have FP decals.

Hoping they extend the list in 2023 so that anyone that's in the 9000's like myself can go in for pre-employment.

This is confirmed? Also, no OH swaps for SBS79 and SBS86. Quill keeping 79 and 86SBS? Surprised that Quill didn’t give the 72 to MV also.

Appreciate the clarification on that one..

My only guess is maintenance for that unit.. MV has 2 artic bays. 6184 from MQ was recently there also for maintenance..

7960, 7961.. Delivered/in revenue service at Flatbush Depot 7960 currently on B46 7961 currently on B49

I keep saying this.. Cityline- Liberty Avenue needs bus service again. The Q24/B13/Q7/Q8 combos won't work for this area. The B10 will address the Liberty/Grant/Sheridan Avenue issues. An improved B2 service down 65th Street would work for Kings Plaza. This is where the B23 needs it's 16th Avenue service restored B47 needed a split from Rutland Road/Sutter Avenue with the re-invention of the B78. The northern portion of that route is overkill and doesn't warrant Woodhull service. To add: B14 could use a extension to Rockaway Blvd instead of the Euclid Avenue . However, it does address Pitkin Avenue bus service which is needed in the area. I still have questions about Sutter Avenue service since most patrons are accustomed to Sutter Ave versus Pitkin Avenue. As long as the and connection is maintained for Brownsville and ENY Patrons I really don't see any problems.

Gateway Mall is via the B13 & Q8... Last sentence: B6 at New Lots train station goes into South Brooklyn..

Community Board 18 is pretty vocal. They will go against any proposal that eliminates the B2 and B31 getting clipped. Sending the 2 to Fillmore makes the most logical sense. If Avenue S doesn’t want service or it’s a hassle to deal with the turns down S just move to Fillmore for feasible service.

Copy copy good brother.. Thank You.. I'm in the 9000's and just saw that a OC Conductor test may OPEN up in June 2023 for filing (Subject to change of course) and yes the promo test expected to open for March 2023 for filing. If they do extend the list which is expected they could get thru the list up until late 2024/2025.

Anyone here... Are they up to the 9000's for OPA or they still dealing with 8000's for OPA. If I were a bettor, unless they don't get to the 9000's and low 10,000's at least for OPA list is expected to expire in February.
