9891-9910 is 20 units that GH is getting, 9796 is a MHV unit. 9796 is most likely a bus that will be used for training until there actual units go to them, one of them being is 9901 which I've seen at the JFK Vendor.

Both pieces of information are correct.

Maybe you guys already know about it, but today I've spotted over 20 new Nova Bus LFS 40' Hybrid-Electric buses at a lot in Hoboken. None have the designated bus depot decal sticker. Here are the numbers that's sitting in the lot.

 

9791, 9795, 9696, 9705, 9828, 9882, 9881, 9794, 9682, 9816, 9725, 9681, 9716, 9857, 9708, 9856, 9703 amongst others

Huh…all Manhattanville from my guess.

It came from Grand Ave. The unit, along with 4743-45 are there for training purposes.

Ah copy, I knew 4756 was still in Grand Av before it was sent to Ulmer. Some folks have to check before they post.

Thanks for that!

Did 4756 do the following move recently:

KB ------> UP

@Future ENY OP  I am not MTA personnel. I do not belong in the company of the others you mentioned. I echo your message though.

Ditto!

First off. Rest In Peace to those brothers 🙏🏾🙏🏾 and condolences to their families. This virus is really hitting home for everyone. To the  personnel on this board: @EastFlatbushLarry, @SevenEleven, @Flatbush SBS Duece, @Bill from Maspeth, @Union Tpke  @Acela Express @XBht26, @SoSpectacular @TransitMan0251 and others I’m missing right now.  Thank You for what you do on a daily basis especially in times like this. And again Thank You 🙏🏾.  
 

Second: Preservation is key and let us all flatten the curve. Although the weather is getting a bit warmer. However, let’s help the essential workers to their work and everyone else stay home in the meantime. This too shall past.  

Oh my goodness, that’s a very sad thing to hear man. This virus is really coming for anyone at this point and it’s scary. 
 

Also, the loans are for bus driver shortages.

From Kingsbridge, the routes affected are the: Bx1, Bx3, Bx9, and Bx15.

For Gun Hill: Bx28, Bx40 and Bx41.

There’s some XD60s and LFSAs from Manhattan on the Bx1, Bx9 and Bx15.

There’s some Old Gens and Next Gens on the Bx3, Bx9, Bx28, and Bx41.

There’s an XN60 on the Bx40 and Bx41.

I don’t know why I felt the need, but does anyone know any vendors from around the MTA?

can someone write down at what time it leaves Astoria and on which route, so I can time my commute home?

What type of nonsense are you on?

Just for that, I hope you catch that R160 and it breaks down.

They even honked on their own.

So I seen a video of an R179 at Essex Street doing a door test again, and when the doors closed.....

ONE OF THE DOORS REOPENED ON ITS OWN AND CLOSED AGAIN BY ITSELF!

They’re gonna be OUT for awhile... now I’m second guessing how the hell these cars passed their revenue service testing....

Now, I can’t say anything about 3010-19. I don’t think the tests before that gave accurate results.

I been on 32  trains with broken A/C this past summer, also been on two 32  that had to be taken OOS due to door problems. If they are having trouble on the    I doubt they would be doing any better on the  , they are maintained by the same yard! 

 

I hope they aren't transferred back to ENY, the only yard the 32s should be transferred to is the scrap yard. I'm glad they stayed an extra 10 years and the stint on the  was a nice bonus but all good things must come to an end. I follow transit just like everyone on here but did I miss some kind of major service increase the MTA is planning to justify keeping the R32s around until the 211s come...? I mean the original plan of the  shutdown got cancelled..

Real question: Aren’t we still short on subway cars?

Yes, they have. There’s been a certain picture that was very recent floating around of an R211 at the Kawasaki factory.

I’m pretty sure it’s a leaked one.

Did they even start making R211s yet? Because It's going to be just like how R179s coming in.

 

Yes, they have. There’s been a certain picture that was very recent floating around of an R211 at the Kawasaki factory.

Not yet assigned, they're all at the vendor.

The vendor is located on Lefferts in JFK Airport, I'm assuming?
