Yes.

No not all the novas are removed from service, only a majority of buses are pulled at this time.

 

Stop spreading misinformation if you do not have direct access to info or don't see a legit transfer.

Yeah I’m “spreading misinformation”…. 

4446, 4449 FP to MV

4437, 4438, 4522, 4530, 4558, 4559, 4562, 4563, 4565 GA to MV 

Please Note: ALL  NovaBus LFS HEVs are Out of Service due to a rear door opening issue on a Manhattanville HEV. Kingsbridge’s HEVs are OOS for a different issue. This results in many NG moves and loans.

The incident was a minor injury to the hand of the bus driver and the teenager was also shot. Three shots were fired. One hit the window shield and another hit a part the protects drivers from being injured. The shooting came from the outside and the said aforementioned teenager was targeted. The case is gang related. 

9574 was reported as back in service today

4332 as welll

I just explained why they did the full swap with making Jamaica all R160's, The Base order is going to pitkin, By the time that's done it'll be 2025, Then you have the option order which would kill off the rest of the R46's.

 

You have to remember the is going 100% full length so this would cause some of pitkin's R46's to stay a bit longer. Once option order I starts trucking in, Those R46's are gone.

By the time Jamaica gets it's batch, It'll be 2026 a full 5-6 years after the swap was completed. CBTC is semi active on queens blvd and fully active on 53rd st. Jamaica couldn't keep the R46's just in case of re routes and etc. Plus there's no signals between 36th st and Roosevelt on the express tracks as well as 53rd st. This is why Jamaica had no choice being 100% r160's. None of you are looking at that. If an has to go express or via 53rd/6th ave because an emergency, The road would be screwed because the r46's have no CBTC. It's all about flexibility and making sure everything is seamless (It's not lmao) .

... I was just saying my take on this subject but thanks.

This makes the most sense because this way, the R211s start out on a line that we know already is CBTC-active. And it also takes care of just outright retiring the trouble-prone CI R46s. Likely, as the R211 base order comes in, the lower numbered R160s will be paired up and swapped back to Coney Island and 9853-9942 will be transferred back to Jamaica, so this way, Jamaica only has two car classes - R211 and R160 Alstom propulsion, and CI has the Siemens + Alstom R160s and R68s. In my opinion, each yard should know how to maintain more than one car class (if its one of those large yards like Jamaica, Pitkin/207 St, Coney Island)

Literally what I said with the R179s, and R211s at Pitkin... and besides 8th Avenue is already prepared for CBTC starting from 59th Street..

43 minutes ago, Lawrence St said:

Why is that? All of priorities are backwards right now.

The can continue using the R46's until the option order comes in, send the first base order to Queens Blvd to bump out the R160's back to CI.

For what? QBL doesn't need no base order of any fleet right now.

Honestly, QBL already has over 1,000 R160s so they do not need no base order for any fleet right now.  Pitkin should receive the Base Order for the R211s because Fulton Street still has more than half of the R46 fleet, and though they are the best performing ones, they still need to be replaced as well, or displaced in this case. Though the R179s are there to back up the R46s, the R32s are on their deathbed right now and are not in up top shape to run service completely, or mostly underground on the  and . Coney Island can receive these R46s from Pitkin, and retire the worst performing 46s, and continue from there. They can always have Jamaica 160s for swings on the  and . Those R46s can displace all the R68s/R68As from the  and  and save those 350+ cars for the  and  in order to back up the R46s, and R160s to limit service on them too, by putting them on a route that is not too lengthy, and that is not a 24/7 one as well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, they should have waited to activate/install CBTC on Queens Blvd, especially when the pandemic was happening and ridership was low.

They wasted all this time to swap cars around just to swap them back when the R211's come in. It just isn't common sense.

This is why I agree with you because it's true, the MTA just wasted their damn time and whoever is behind subway operations, they don't have common sense at all.w

Yes, 1/3 of the  fleet was R46s and typically ran hours only, as the Kings Highway short-turns or were pulled out of service after the PM rush. The  otherwise had the entire R46 fleet to itself, and weekends, even used some of the  and ‘s R160s, which minimized use of the R46s even further. Now at Coney Island this is not possible. Pitkin’s R46s also have it slightly better because the weekend  service is much more limited and the R179s are used as much as  uses its R160s and R68s in place of the R46s

It is not possible now but it is possible, in the coming years, if the base order goes to Pitkin, we can go back to square one.

All NYCT base order R211As go to Pitkin for  and possibly  service. 

The 20 R211Ts could also possibly see service at Pitkin, or Jamaica.

Send the displaced  R46s to Coney Island for  and  service.

Have the R68/As run mainly on the  and  lines to retire the R46s, or **most** of them.

If there are any extras, have swing R160s additionally make up  and  service.

My take, carry on.

Hello all, this is the official interior font of the R211A/T, https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1973817/r211a-t-interior-signage enjoy it! And it includes the interior bullet as well.

I wonder which door chime they would use, either the R142/A/179 version, or the R143/160/188 version

I’m upset the actual TS announcer isn’t used by only Kathleen..

Maybe not yet, but they're the first ones that are going to be replaced by the R211A's and then the R46's later on.

That would be true if the R32s were still in service.

4500-4999 are open then you would have ether 5201-5480 or 3328-4059 open.

I don’t think they would use the R32 numbers yet, as they are still on property.

Probably a M8 or a 9

I think that's the set I saw coming out of Jerome Yard today, it was definitely a R62A, and a 240th Street Set at that, but I thought it was for  service, but it did go on the express track immediately.

I wonder what THOSE fleet numbers will be, give or take: 3330-3349 or 2930-2949. 

I wonder what the second option order numbers would be. I’m thinking they would use 2925-3009. 75 cars. Even though the amount of cars is going to be alot more than 75, I think those number should be used for the R211S’

so let the r46's keep dropping like flies then. It's obvious that the r46's can't handle being run to death of 3 24/7 lines with low spares. They don't want R32's on the , this is why i said the .

 

It's more dumb to run r46/179's on the than it to be 100% r179. There's still over 200 r32's on property, all ENY need is 90 cars. They weren't short when they ran on the and they only ran 2 r32's all day in the beginning.

 

It's not about being a fan, The r46's are dropping left and right on the lines. they need to come up with a better idea or it'll get worse. the original plan was for the R46's to be on the lines but they changed the for the . 

 

y'all kept saying the R46's wouldn't be a problem but now they are a big problem causing all types of issues on the lines in terms of delays and breakdowns.

 

There was a huge delay on the  because of a breakdown at Fort Hamilton Pkwy.

Due to weekend service changes, C Trains will replace D Trains between 145th Street and Norwood-205th Street. Gonna be great to finally see NTTs, and even R46s, on the Concourse Line. Do they have the automated announcement programs set up, though for 205th?

Yes.
