  1. 7568 isn't going to stay at MV... It will most likely head down to Brooklyn (possibly Ulmer or Grand) or head back to Jamaica.
  2. Is the MTA still pursuing division fleet uniformity plans such as converting Jamaica and stengel to a full Nova fleet and sending the Flatbush LFSAs to the Bronx or Manhattan?
  3. The older documents I've read state that they need at least 170 buses to be stored in the lot, but I don't know if the one they leased from York can accommodate that.
  4. Will they move buses/routes around to other depots temporarily?
  5. Looks like Prottera was bought by Volvo. Interested to see how the MTA plays with this information. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/volvo-to-acquire-battery-business-from-proterra-inc-and-proterra-operating-company-301984421.html
  6. I ride the Q12 very frequently and I don't see what the problem is. Those buses are doing fine.
  7. 8421 has been moved to Eastchester Scrap from Jamaica after it's accident in 2020.
  8. Either GA or ENY. I don’t see why Brooklyn needs extra buses from Jamaica when Brooklyn is getting 30 XE40s. Enough for a one to one replacement in Brooklyn.
  9. KB is sending buses over to Manhattanville. It’s either MJQ will send buses along with KB or Charleston will send their buses to KB while KB sends buses over to Manhattanville.
  10. With this recent transfer, Stengel will be forced to hold onto the NGs until who knows when and I’m not so sure as to how they would replace them since the only novas Stengel has is the 2022s.
  11. CS would be at a shortage if they retired the NGs with no replacement. The 2 LFS can only kill 2 NGs. Stengel would be forced to keep the NGs longer than expected because of this recent transfer. It would be extremely hard to retire the NGs from the XE40 order since the depots getting the XE40s don’t have anything that fits in with Stengel’s fleet.
  12. 8652 was tracking as 682 on the Q88. Is 682 actually at QV or is the tracker bugging out? QV is a hefty distance from the J90. Wouldn't JA be a more reasonable depot or another depot in Brooklyn such as ENY or FP?
  13. The Buy America Act does not affect Canada... "Buy American requirements also do not apply to Canada for U.S. federal purchases covered by the revised World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO GPA), to which Canada, the U.S. and 46 other countries are Parties. When bidding on U.S. federal procurements covered by these agreements, Canadian suppliers benefit from the same treatment as American suppliers. There are also exceptions in the Buy American Act for the acquisition of commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) items."
  14. Will Eastchester replace Gun Hill for training bus supplementation?
  15. Most 4700s at Stengel are on the road but a few of them are shop queens.
  16. From the looks of it, it looks like Grand Ave doesn't place stickers on Brooklyn loans but places stickers on other division loans.
  17. Grand Ave places decals on all the loans they get so it's not guaranteed it is a permanent transfer.
