No but it did say on CPTDB wiki that 9510-9569 are Allison units and 9570-9619 are bae units. I assume MCH is getting Allisons now.

And while I say that a friend of mines said that 9648 broke down on the M100. Nice. Looks like that’s heading to Jersey.

NFI is really making a good choice right now. They are going nice and slow to make sure everything is nice and fine tuned. I hope this doesn't effect the nova hevs or the LFS diesels.

Yea it did. The battery then ignited and set the bus on fire. That's why only the front was damaged.

Yea 673 looks like a wrap, doesn't make sense to bring it back in service tbh. Idk about that, but this was caused by a collision so maybe it was a problem with the battery of the moped.

1221-1222, 1278 Gun Hill to West Farms. 1221 and 1222 are working the Bx39 right now.

5480 is back in service, I rode it last week on the Bx41

Is there a picture of it like there was with 9563?

Update number 2, there is about 40 XDE40s that have been built. It is however not confirmed if they are bae or Allison units. Also, all but 2 Nova HEVs have plates which means they are most likely prepped for delivery. Manhattan bus fleet is gonna look very different in the next month or 2 most likely.

The base order of nova HEVs have been fully built, and have VINs. They however are most likely not painted quite yet and do not have fleet numbers yet but they should be soon and delivered to NYC. MV OGs time are pretty much up.

Ah okay, that makes sense. They probably won’t be prepped for delivery for a few days or so

I also notice that the Bx39 is consistently a mix of standards and Artics, still can’t get used to C40LFs on the Bx39

So question, how many buses does Nova normally produce a day? And how long does it take for them to be prepped for delivery? There’s already like 98 buses up there in Plattsburgh, why is it taking so long to send them down?

also to add on, there is 20 XDE40s without fleet numbers, 3 Novabus LFS diesels without fleet numbers but vins and i'll round up to 50 Prevosts without vins. Very Interesting to note.

Something interesting to note, there is about ~96 (i may have messed up while counting, lol) novabus LFSes with VINs but no fleet numbers. There's gonna be a exodus of them coming soon lol.

2291 is on the SIM33C, a Charleston bus on a Castleton route

So they are most likely having a shortage, due to a lot of buses OOS (prob the orions but who knows). That makes sense. Thanks.

Why have so many loans/buses been going to ENY now? What are they trying to push out?

9662 is in New Jersey. It’s assumed that it’s a Kingsbridge Bus

lol, its funny you say that, i just saw it at west farms lol

Well that probably means the nova HEV deliveries is gonna start picking up, it’s more of a slow burn in the Bronx than in the other boroughs

So idk, im making a prediction, but i'm still unsure about it so i may change it. So i heard that there's rumors of the 4300s MCIs going to CP and some prevosts pushing out MCIs from QV. I was wondering if they are trying to make staten island fully prevost. It would make sense for them to send 2285-2303 to ECH and maybe push the best of MCIs out to CP in the meantime (because the prevost order is on hold right now for MTA bus). As for the CTS being pushed out of QV, those can maybe be a split between ECH (15) and CP (19) and by then, the best of the eastchester CLs can live another life at CP. These are predictions (and hopes). Also, i got the rumors from a IG DM, if you were wondering.

They also need to put 2926 back at Eastchester

2926 is back in service. Saw it yesterday on the Bruckner Expy but wasn't able to get a picture.
