    Here are the speed governs I recommend for the (MTA)to follow for each borough:

    Brooklyn TA: 55 Local (Justified by highway deadheads)/60 Express (Justified by expressway usage)

    Manhattan OA: 45 Local (Justified by lower speed conditions/speed limits) N/A Express (No express buses in the Manhattan OA fleet)

    Queens TA: 60 Local(Justified by expressway deadheads)/60 Express (Justified by expressway usage)

    Queens MTABC: 60 Local (Justified by expressway deadheads)/65 Express (justified by LIRR/MNR shuttle service requirements)

    Bronx OA: 55 Local (Justified by highway deadheads)/N/A express (no express buses in the Bronx OA fleet)

    Bronx MTABC: 60 Local (Justified by expressway usage)/65 Express (justified by LIRR/MNR shuttle service requirements)

    Staten Island TA: 65 Local (Justified by S89 service into NJ)/70 Express (Justified by service via the NJ Turnpike/potential detours - consistent with governed speed on NJT's MCIs in the Northern Division)

    For those who were confused in June that those speed governs above were standard, I apologize. The actual speed govern is 40 for local buses, and 60 for express. Those speed governs I'm talking about above are the speeds I recommend for the (MTA) to follow. This is because (NJT) has a higher speed govern than the (MTA), with the NABIs capped at 65.

  2. For the next 250 express bus order to (MTA)Bus Co., Prevost was awarded the contract. There is also an option order of 131 more buses if needed. Deliveries are scheduled to start from April 2025 to August 2026 with 15 units per month. If the (MTA)accepts the option order, then deliveries would start from August 2026 to March 2027 with 16-17 units per month. This order will replace all MCI D4500CLs and MCI D4500CTs. This could also add some fleet expansion if the (MTA)accepts the option order.

    Transitron?

    Is that a site or something?

    It is a private bus tracker bot exclusively to Discord. I've been using it since last month. It can tell bus information on the route it is currently on, it's in the CMF or Scrap, or back at it's depot. I can send you the link if you want.
