What exactly is going on? I'm lost. What's LGA Getting and why is JAM getting more RTSs?

3780 @ JFK from BP

En route on Q60

600, 604 & 607 were all out today

Since when does the NYPD have O5s? Saw one today in the full scheme, interestingly with the lights on the back from a PBL bus (the smaller taillights).

 

Suburban? or transit?

Large bus move for you

A number of QVs MCIs are going to Yukon

As soon as they pull in from rush hour

They being moved to Yukon

I don't have numbers it's being Done at random as they pull in

This info coming straight from the office here...

what kind of engine and transmission is this??

 

not badd...picture a LFS with this engine or an Orion VII 3G...sounds like a ZF....but this is foreign

 

 

According to wiki:

Cummins ISCe/ISBe/ISLe & ZF

Man just imagine if LGA was still a CNG depot lol. LGA C40LFs would just displace those Bees and add extra

Well I don't see them excercising the 90 bus option, that would make no sense as you would have an excess of CNG buses that you can't put anywhere else as Gleason, WF, SC & CP are the only CNG contenders

Now looking at it they could exercise the 30 bus option

As looking at it there would be 22 Orion V CNGS left to displace after the 74 order is done.

30-22 = 8

Still have 8 new buses but wait

You still have 25 remaining old C40s left

So you could knock off 8 of those to reserve leaving 17 old c40lfs active

Orion V CNG will replace by New flyer C40 CNG ? (491-520, 570-599) 60 buses

SC Hybirds will go back at LGA or JFK

3611-3631 may go back to LGA or JFK ?

3633-3634, 3636-3637 is go back to LGA again?

3638-9 might wind up at LGA again or JFK ?

 

What?

I don't understand wth you're saying.

3632 SC to LGA. I guess LGA is getting SCs hybrids and JFKs RTSs? This is odd.

 

To kill the bees.

 

and one making a u-turn

 

 

I hear the Allison in this video

And with the B500 it has Allison's optimized shift schedule, to keep the engine in its "Sweet spot".

I'm not sure if thats the same as LBSS but I read it in some documents on their website.

when there buses go to Swap... XD40s & LFS & O7 between Now and November?

 

UP = 4810-4899, (90 XD40s)

QV = 8000-8089, (90 LFS)

CAS = 7000-7089. (90 O7)

 

7030-7059 will transfer From UP to CAS

4870-4899 will transfer From CAS to UP

 

8000-8029 will transfer From CAS to QV

7000-7029 will transfer From QV to CAS

 

Still all speculation at the moment we don't know if that'll happen or not...

3968 was on the Q20B earlier isn't that a MHV bus?

I looked up the status of 9666 on spear months ago

Coulda swore Said status was at eastchester s.

They could be used on the floors in the buses to clean them, but its doubtful right?

 

Those are for floors,

Too big to lug on a bus... plus buses get power washed on the inside...

So it turns out 1791 is actually wearing full paint... No vinyl...

I just got stick in this hot mess

I was stuck on the for nearly 2 hours between Utica and Nostrand

Finally just got off smh

 

Just because u see that scar, doesn't mean the floor is rotting or loose. That line is what happens when depots take on floor repair themselves, but either don't have the proper tools/materials to do the job or have a body man that has never done floor repair before. That looks like when they did the original spot floor repair, they didn't glue it down properly and started peeling back up. So instead of using glue again they just used nails or screws.

 

Well I saw the crews but the bus was swaying the plywood under the may was visible and rubbing against each other with every turn the driver made.

Another rotting/loose subfloor section

Bus 9379

 

 

Wait wait wait, you said rewrapped and painted... What are they doing painting the buses (or part of the buses) & then wrapping them?

 

I wonder what the costs are to wrap the bus compared to painting them? I know wrapping is pretty expensive and surely they are doing it pretty cheap by getting a discount on the materials and using their own labor but you could argue they would be painting these buses just as cheaply as they would still would be using their own labor and would get a discount on buying the paint in bulk.

 

1791 got a fresh base coat of white then was wrapped

Vinyl is cheaper than paint

1791 was rewrapped, got a new coat of paint and new rims she lookin fresh as hell

Looks like they're finishing up painting the bus lanes on Jamaica

That's because they don't need it. Those 7400s are still good.

 

Yeah they're still about a yer or two young

2251 is @ QV, only one operator is trained. QV is to get 35-45 2200 series MCI's

 

I know what I'm doing next month when my internship starts again :3

On 9381, B41 and this automated voice comes on and says "Please stay out of the rear doorway." Never heard that on an RTS before.....

 

I just saw that bus yesterday on the Q27 lol

Fast swap.

And alot of RTSs have that

still earlier than the january deadline...
