#4731 was operating on the Q12 at around 12pm  seen at flushing.

Cant lie Bronx really destroyed there XD60s I literally  rode #4780 yesterday  on the B38 and I sit in the back and my god the seats was destroyed  and there was gum on the seats and to mention seeds every where I was really distrusted 😷😷 but there's nothing much you can do about that situation  cause ofc people will say Brooklyn cant or will be able to take of them compared to Bronx but I know they will play Grand has been working hard on them to look clean because the backs from what I seen where really scratched  up and stuff now there's not much on them from when it came to Grand  I can say the same for CS both of them got banged up artics so that sucks but ik they gonna do good with them and do a bit better then how bronx maintained  them.

#4715 ,#4722,#4763 and #4773 is at JG  although #4722 is getting worked on at ENY it's still assigned  to JG apparently.

No to the B1, B12. Only b/c those buses stop at or near their respective depots. B12 stops directly at ENY. B9 is a toss up. Leave the 20 alone also. That’s in front of Fresh Pond along with the Q58. B1 is within minutes of Ulmer Park. The B7 has been a ping pong ever since leaving Flatbush. 

Q39 is MTA Bus so hands off on that. 

Well ughhh The B20 directly  runs pass ENY Depo so it would make sense for it to be there or as a tripper at least.  The Q39 runs near pond but your right about that I cant say the least about the Q38  too but oof. The B1 has alot of trips out of JG and FB but I can see it more at FB tho.And to mention that B12 I see tripper runs partially along from FB thats why I can see it operating from FB too but your right.

Guys... Just wondering here. Are there any routes that you feel should be at a certain depot as opposed to where they are currently at right now?

I would like to See the 

B47 ,B12 and B1 to FB

B4,B9 and B82 to UP

B20,B7,B60 to ENY 

Q39,Q58, to Pond 

Anyone know the unit # ? of a MCI up in ENY Depo I seen it inside getting worked on and it's from MTA BUS.

Can confirm 4105 is not a loan to WF, has official stickers

Sometimes they put there stickers on buses when they get loans they done that when they had the LFSes from KB  on loan but maybe your right on this being a full transfer instead of a loan.

Is this for revenue service, training, maintenance or storage for Grand Avenue. 

Could be training  cause last time I remembered  they had the 2017 XD60 and trained it (doing ghost runs for the B35) so this could possibly  be a scenario  like this too or it can be other purposes.

Well they should send some buses over to Brooklyn to expand the fleet and increase service, although honestly, THIS was the fleet expansion I was hoping for:

Also, did they/will they figure how the articulated buses are going to handle Jennings Street, Bryant Avenue, and West Farms Road for the Bx35 (eventually)?

That link you gave is pretty interesting  I took a look it all though some depo's need fixing but other then that nice assumption. For the Bx35 thing yes they all ready figured it out to make artics run on the Route  plus they removed some stops as well not to mention that 3 attics was on the Bx35 again today this time in the afternoon  so WFs could be putting artics on that route all the way until the official  date if I'm correct on this I'd wish the same for the B38 and Q12 but for the Q12 an artic  was actually  testing along flushing from what Ik so there getting ready same thing with Grand I've seen a XD60 test along tillary.

Its great that the XD40 order is almost back on track with this, but I though that that the XD40s were going to stay a while to rush the retirement of older buses at the time? Why would the XD40s be pushed out of the depot for the Bx35 articulation. Wouldn't it make sense to push out some of the C40LFs there to Jackie Gleason to allow them to increase service on routes in Brooklyn?

That would make sense but WFs sent some XN60s to The B35 for the increase on that route for the summer so I'm pretty sure JG is good for now but who knows they could end up doing that. And I cant say much for the process on the XD40s at Farms as of now they are leaving the bronx (finally) and is going to anywhere at this point.

Looking like that may not be the possibility on this one. ENY may end up getting NG’s from Grand along with Fresh Pond the way things are looking. Let’s see throughout this week what will happen. 

I can definitely  see FP getting more this week from Grand while those 2005 old gens get retired it makes full since same thing for ENY although I could possibly  see CS pushing them out to ENY even tho some is going to QV but I'm trying to make logical sense of this even tho it makes no sense but I'm just saying I said CS with giving ENY next gens because in my mind I dont think that would be enough for eny sense Next gens are going out the door from Grand and with them having 68 those are just aren't enough to hold down on pond or eny thata why I'm saying CS to help fill in on eny with the depart of OGs but who knows but it was a stupid thing of me to think of so idk but I will have to wait next week to see what transfer will happen next.

This was an artic on the Bx35 today in the morning it did 2 trips. But anyways on that I just wanna say that it was been noted that WFs wasn't gonna keep those XD40s for too long only for short period of time and it makes sense for them to get pushed out now due to the Bx35 articulation so I'm glad things are going back on track with this. 

#4901 was seen at Eastchester  Depo parked and in good condition.

Ok just checked up on the Prottera and 0020 is up doing a test run on the S74.

It’s about time!!! Looks like some of the 2009 Orion VII Next Generation buses from Grand Avenue and possibly even Gun Hill are bound for Fresh Pond!

I got to say that's my favorite  depo  and me having a nice route from that depo its gonna be sad seeing it tooken off my home route but it is what it is I dont like seeing more next gens at pond cause they had em for so long and I would love to see them take back the XD40s they lost to Ulmer or get something else besides that but then again it makes since for them to get more next gens so I'm fine with that I'm just gonna say this now if will not be the same with out them Hybrids being at pond and that's for sure lol but r.i.p 6562 and 6563 

So ummmm.... 0018 is running  on the S55 rn

It returned back to Flatbush yesterday along with 7308. 

Oh snap sorry lol I wasn't active all day yesterday  

#4409 is operating  on the B46  which I'm guessing that was a long loan from ENY and which the case is FB got it back as a transfer.

So far only East New York scrapped only 1. Maybe as more buses break down or worse performing buses will hit the scrap yard. 

Fresh Pond on the other hand could continue sending buses as needed to JFK/LGA and worse performing buses to scrap. But right now the main concern is Manhattanville as they got about 20 or less to go. 

Yes they got around the teens of 2005 OGs left which is ironic but they gotta go I'll make sure I fan them before they leave MHV too it's just sad to see them go off fast like that but they have too.

It’s gonna be a while before Fresh Pond and East New York starts scrapping their OG’s. 

Yes a good while lol I could be wrong but I have a feeling that FP will be the leader well the last depo to hold on to the 2005 OGs I could be wrong it could be ENY but idk it's just based on my experience on that.

I can confirm  that #6633 is currently out doing a run on the M3 to East Village 8 ST and 6683 is operating  on the M10 to Harlem 159 ST along with 6686 doing a run on the M11 to West Village  Abingdon SQ and lastly the infamous  #6606  is out rn on the M116 to West Side Broadway.

I’ll answer this briefly (mods and or FB ops correct me if i’m wrong). FB is able to hold at least 250 buses and plus with the fall pick coming up FB tends to get more buses around this time. 

However, the 1-to-1 RTS/NG concept wasn’t used in this case for FB unlike Manhattanville with the 1-to-1 OG/NG. What could happen is FB could get some more NG’s but ultimately NG’s would go Fresh Pond and East New York for replacement of OG’s. 

It gets me excited cause when the XDE40s comes in 😈 that means push out time  but let me not get to hype about this tho I can't wait to see the OGs get pushed out I'm even more hype that eny is getting more next gens even tho I'm not that much of a fan of them but it's always nice to see something different  to a depo

Makes a little sense. I guess they just wanted to focus on unwrapping and pushing out all the #12xx’s first, therefore they sent 5840 to Flatbush to get it out of the way. I wouldn’t be so surprised if the other two end up at Flatbush as well.

Lol imagine they end up sending a 1200 to FB
