    Agreed, I just really hate the narrative how much America used to have good transit but never really see how much that its not really our transit but its our politics. 

    Edit: I also wanted to say this. Our last governor was a prime example of this, there were lots of effort for the L train shutdown before the pandemic and I recall the MTA made a lot of strides for a bus network to help transport people from Manhattan to Brooklyn. The governor really derailed a lot of the plans in which the city already made changes to the streets and other projects to help transport people for vital repair. There was also a plan to demolish another bus depot in queens to make way to build an Air Train from the far end of queens to LGA, which wasn't feasible at all, nevertheless it would have made bus logistics hard since the Jamaica bus depot was in the planning stage to also be demolished. 

    From what I have seen in the past is that the MTA is full of bureaucracy and it hinders the MTA a lot. 

    The depot in question was Casey Stengel.

    Never say never, they have fixed buses that have been badly damaged before.

    Only reason for that is because 7507 and 7548 were sent to Northeastern Bus Rebuilders for repairs. NEBR didn't repair those buses as of now, which is why 7548 was sent to Eastchester scrap.

  3. 120-121, 127, 130 from PTLA Enterprise, 128 from Valhalla garage, and 135-136 from 475 garage are confirmed to be retired, and are pending auction.

    Currently, PTLA has 122-123 and 129, while Valhalla has 124-126.

    509 from 475 garage, had entered service on the 66.

    I do question the accuracy of that report, but I can see that happening. The bus was on loan to Tuskegee and it last ran 3 days ago.

    We will have to wait and see what happens. Because if there were available parts, they would've gotten parts from the retired NGs at Eastchester scrap.
