No Concourse would get their spares back that they lost

The Original plan was to move some R46s from pitkin to CI as the remaining R179s went into service to increase their spares while the R32's stayed on the and . 5-7 sets of R32s were planned to run in and service until the R211s show up and replace those remaining R32s.  The would have been 35% to 50% 60 footers and 50% 75 footers with a decent spare factor. The would have ran the rest of the R32s with the R179s. This is why they were planned to keep 110 R32s until they decided to retire them in late 2019.

 

Concourse would gain their spares back not lose anymore cars. They lost about 32-40 R68's between 2016-2019. That's why it would be smart to give CIY some more R46 cars to fil in the gaps this way Pitkin, CIY and Concourse yard would have a decent spare factor.

 

 

 

Okay.

And also 8220 callowhill retired

(According to wiki) 8382,8394 (retired 12/2023) 8396-8397,8389,8391-8392 and 8394-8395 frontier,retired.

Thanks! Since I have some time today, I think I'll try to catch it.

CI needs an increase of spare factor since they lost the R160s. That's the only issue, They barely have any and their R46s take the most beatings. They only need like 6-8 more sets to  have a balanced fleet and you forget that concourse spare factor dropped when they sent up to 4+ sets to coney over the past 7 years.

So will they get more spares from concourse yard?

Is the r211t running today?

That's not what one would call an opinion, especially if you're presenting it as a fact.

My comment was based on my personal experiences.

Not sure what you're trying to get at here when the guy was only asking if those two units were still in service or not.

Just a little good natured joking around.

Why would the MTA preserve an Old Gen for what purpose? Do you hear yourself right now.

For the museum as the first new local buses they bought when the  took over the private bus operations nearly 20 years ago.

Exactly my point .
