I’m pretty sure 9312 was for LGA which makes there total for 41 units. while for JFK it was 9313-9353, if I wasn’t mistaken.
LaGuardia is getting 40 units not 41. JFK is getting 42 units.

Considering its a small amount of buses they are getting, I don't see anything getting displaced.
Aren't they getting 16?

Umm buses from other depots?
That would insinuate a shortage at the said depot.

There are some good ones in the bunch. I think QV’s fleet aged a bit better than Jamaica’s
I highly doubt the 2011s at Jamaica can last till 2027-2029 so I’m unsure of how Jamaica can retire them since they won’t receive XE40s until 2027-2029

I don’t have much complaint about Jamaica depot and their maintenance. However, I will say is that there is a noticeable difference between a lot of JA’s original LFS’s (within the 8090-8503 series) and the buses they acquired from The Bronx. Some of them LFS buses were beat up before coming to Queens and Jamaica received a lot more of them buses than QV.
The ones that they received from the Bronx are really beat up and in poor condition. Many of them don’t sound right and there is one bus where the floor isn’t sealed properly and diesel fumes leak into the passenger compartment.

Yes. I hear from some other Queens folks that Jamaica depot is quite the opposite.
I ride the 2011s from both depots and they are generally not that great. There may be some decent units sprinkled in but in general, they are getting up there in age.

Why are they getting overhauled at Zerega? Did the MTA buy them?

From today's board meeting, looks like Kingsbridge got the boot from the 60 XE40 order. ENY will now have their allotment increased to 22 units.

Me: waits all day to hear about MTA electric bus delivery which includes the 60 XE40, LFSe+ and even the XHE40 on earth day
The MTA on earth day:
The XE40s have started to be delivered to NEBR facility in JFK but other than that, no word on the other 2.

I wonder why it is at Zerega, and added their own stickers if the unit wasn't repaired.
Same reason why 7414 has a Zerega sticker. Most likely for training.

Anyone have photos of 7507 or 7549 accidents?

The swap was even with 26 Novas going to Jamaica, with 26 Xcelsiors going the other way. Gun Hill ended up losing 7490 to Grand in September.
I understand that so that's why I think 7507 will go to GH to make up for 7490 being lost.

Not sure why they need to cover for a unit that's at Grand Ave and was already covered with a Nova in the swap with Gun Hill.
I don't think 7490 was ever compensated.

I doubt it would displace any bus to Jamaica since they still have to make up for 7490 at Gun Hill. I highly doubt it would go to anywhere else except gun hill.

The MTA is looking to test and evaluate 5 NAe40 electric buses from Solaris.

MNR doesn't have this issue because their lines go from north to south. On the island the sun majority shines on the south side of the train.
