Not only bus depots, but most of the infrastructure in NYC that needs to have maintenance and repairs to keep up. Look at some apartments and NYCHA housing that’s getting violations bc they ain’t got no good maintenance or repairs done in a while. Look at what happened to that Building in the Bronx that partially collapses with all them violations. But back to depots, you made a good point, I have a feeling that they will be too late on fixing ENY and damage is done. Flatbush already has a bus that is oos because of a ceiling that fell on it. It’s crazy at this point, but I’m not surprised.

They need to replace the building fast cuz if the walls break, that’s it for East New York. They started doing Jamaica Depot with upgraded equipment, East New York needs to be next with the others that need to be in the age of the future

Isn’t it 6 units 3812 is still alive no?

Delivered to LGA? I thought it was going to JFK

Okay 9317 is active in JFK, now on the Q37 (I accidentally posted it in random threads but I’ll post it here too)

9317 is now active on the Q37, first XD40s in service in JFK

That means its the start of the ogs and 2008 ngs retiring next few weeks and xd40 coming into service soon

3762 is still active, it’s 7 If 3748 retires then it’s 6

From the article: St. Cloud, Minnesota, USA – March 11, 2024: (TSX: NFI, OTC: NFYEF, TSX: NFI.DB) New Flyer of America Inc. (New Flyer), a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc. (NFI) and North America’s leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses, today announced that it has been awarded two new contracts from the New York City Transit Authority including firm orders for 429 Xcelsior® buses (671 equivalent units or EUs) with options to purchase up to 1,661 additional buses (2,379 EUs) over the next five years. In total, the two contracts add 3,050 EUs to NFI’s first quarter 2024 backlog, including: A firm order for 187 battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE NG™ 40-foot buses (187 EUs), with 943 additional options available (943 EUs). A firm order for 18 battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE NG™ 60-foot buses (36 EUs), with 272 additional options available (544 EUs). A firm order for 224 Xcelsior® 60-foot clean diesel buses (448 EUs), with 446 additional options available (892 EUs). NYCT is part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the largest transit authority in North America with an annual ridership of more than 425 million. In 2023, the MTA placed an emphasis on environmental goals, including a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% between their 2015 baseline and the year 2040. The battery-electric vehicles manufactured under these contracts will support MTA’s goal of transitioning the agency’s entire bus fleet to zero-emission alternatives by 2040. NYCT’s battery-electric vehicle purchase was supported through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Low or No Emission (Low-No) grant program. Wow… that’s a whole lotta new flyers coming up soon…

Oh nah, let’s not wish that, I’m sure they’ll be taken care of 😭😂

Let's see how this pans out since nobody cares about paying their fares. Also... putting more routes? sheesh they going ahead with doing that to increase congestion pricing They're back for a short time but so glad 🥹 Meanwhile me, I'm waiting for that new XD40 out of JFK to pop up, I just hope they take care of the buses

Apparently, they're getting ready to add national guard, more police, and possibly metal detectors onto certain subway platforms https://abc7ny.com/nyc-subway-crime-nypd-governor-hochul/14495270/

This is getting crazy here, Its sad. This is what they are doing to combat crime btw https://abc7ny.com/nyc-subway-crime-nypd-governor-hochul/14495270 I don't mind to take it to random subway topic thread

The information was from my assumption. interesting how it’s 40 and not 41 for LGA and 34 not 33 for ECH maybe my math was wrong idk but yeah that’s from my assumption for now. And I know it’s not good to assume that’s why I said take it with a grain of salt

Interesting, I wasn’t too off on number assignment from what I’m seeing from the deliveries being done, I’m surprised LGA getting less buses but then again they have new flyers so it’s expected. I wonder where the 26 will go

WOW what a boost 15 buses?? must be Christmas again 😭

Ahh classic 😂 I rode the Q25 the other day, the onscreen announcements on one bus wasn’t on. Also you have BOs not updating the signage for the right destination so sometimes you’d have Q25 saying LIRR station instead going to flushing or visé versa

I’m sure that LGA is getting 41 and JFK is getting 42, that’s why bus 9313 arrived so that it can starts JFK’s assignments (I hope so) LGA: 9272-9312 (41 buses) JFK: 9313-9354 (42 buses => split 21) EC: 9355-9378 (33 buses) These could be the number assignments but take that with a grain of salt, also I hope my counting is correct lmao Also… (I’m gonna just assume so don’t take this seriously) since Novas are almost finished at BP and rolling in JFK, there’s 308 buses in total which depending on how much LGA would get I’d assume it would be a split from the 262 buses (excluding BP) that they would get. JFK would most likely have 9010-914x assignments and then LGA would have 914x or 915x-9271 assignment. But then again MTA loves to play the changing games so I’m going with what I see happening rn

2009 and 2010 are slowly getting retired but the 2007 OGs and 2008 NGs are probably gonna be gone by the end Also noting, these OGs used to dominate NYC alone (hundreds of them) and now there's only 11 of them left. They had such a big mark on the MTA since 2002. Im gonna miss them

Omg this is exciting, jfk and fr finally keeping up with the times 🥹 I will be waiting on them to appear 🙏🏾

Oh yes I’m enjoying the death of these buses 😭

Number assignments are weird for the buses but then again it’s expected since it changes for every new bus order they get

Jamaica either by the 165th terminal or Sutphin & Jamaica or by the Far Rockaway routes since I seen they are more frequent there. I’d give the OGs by Late March into April since there’s 13 left. I spotted 3756 on the Q9 so far today omw home

Eastchester getting electric buses in the future is interesting… I wonder how that would work out

4522 from Baisley is retired I hear, I need a confirmation
